What should I do if I feel bloated after lunch?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I felt bloated after eating lunch yesterday. I didn't eat anything in the evening, and by morning, it felt a bit better. I had no problem with breakfast. In the morning, I had a bowel movement, which was initially constipation, sometimes loose stools, and lower abdominal pain.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is best to go to the hospital's department of gastroenterology for a thorough examination of the gastroscopy and colonoscopy to check for any abnormalities. If the gastroscopy and colonoscopy show no abnormalities, then there is no need to worry. You can take some medication to improve gastrointestinal motility and absorption to see if it helps. For patients with stomach bloating, while seeking symptomatic treatment, dietary therapy can be used as a complementary treatment. In daily life, it is important to have a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
