Does eating cause your stomach to feel bloated? Is it a sign of a stomach disease?

Patient's question:

Mom has been feeling uncomfortable in her abdomen recently. She often feels like there's something stuck in her throat, as if it's gas. Sometimes the gas feels sour. She also frequently burps and feels a bit bloated in her abdomen, sometimes even to the point of pain. After lunch, she feels bloated until dinner and doesn't feel hungry. As soon as she eats, her stomach swells. Is it possible she has a stomach disease? Does it mean she has a stomach disease if her stomach swells as soon as she eats something?

Doctor's answer:

Moderate consumption of high-fiber foods. High-fiber foods do not only cause abdominal pain; sometimes, quite the opposite is true. After consuming high-fat foods, they can even help alleviate abdominal pain. The reason lies in the fact that high-fat foods are difficult to digest and process, remaining in the digestive system for a longer period. When fiber is involved, it can quickly help clear any blockages in the digestive system. People with stomach problems can, while understanding and treating symptoms, use folk remedies as supplementary treatments in daily life. It is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or fullness in daily dietary habits and never overeat or binge on food.
