Brief Answer:
Following advice
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.
- Having a fullness feeling after eating could be related to alteration in intestinal flora especially if you have a personal history of taking antibiotics recently.
- Gallbladder and stomach hyperacidity problems can also give the same symptoms.
- Constipation is another possible cause. Are you having problems with constipation?
For the moment, I can only advise to:
- eat often and small portion
- chew up slowly
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- avoid spicy, chilly, oily foods
- do not use straw when drinking fluids
- take simethicone for bloating
Hope it helps.
