Suggest Treatment For Imbalance In The Stomach

I love travelling but the last 5 years I have started to get problems with my stomach. i have been to a docter and she said that i have a inbalance on my stomach. I have been on a special diet for the past 6 weeks but i went on holiday last week, 1 hour in to the flight i felt bloated and it carried on for the whole week. On my return once landed a hour later I was fine. Can you please help me to understand this

Hi welcome to HCM.
Travelling is associated with significant bowel disturbances and diet changes. You seem to have disordered stomach motility leading to process of indigestion and dyspepsia. This can be controlled or prevented with the help of low fat high protein diet preferably liquid diet should be adhered to while travelling. In case of relapses of such symptoms I advise you to have an ultrasound of your abdomen to rule out organic pathology. In most cases symptoms resolve by itself. Drugs like proton pump inhibitors and prokinetics will be pretty helpful to improve your symptoms. Avoid junk food whenever possible. Bedtime oatmeal will help to soothe your gut. Drink plenty of water before your flight travel to avoid bloating sensation. Consult your gastroenterologist for further queries.
Thank you.
