Can people with stomach problems participate in exercise?

Patient's question:

One of my neighbors doesn't have a very good stomach. When she eats, she often has indigestion, feels bloated, and sometimes even has acid reflux. The past two days, she has been in a particularly bad mood, as if her stomach condition has flared up again. I was wondering if it's okay to exercise while treating stomach problems?

Doctor's answer:

For patients with stomach-related conditions, unless they are strictly bedridden due to severe cases like bleeding gastric ulcers or gastric perforation, beneficial physical exercise such as running can be implemented to aid digestion and promote gastric recovery.
Doctor's inquiry: The daily treatment for stomach disease patients primarily focuses on symptomatic therapy. Patients can take a variety of oral medications, complemented by multiple vitamins, while also paying attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods.
