Hello,
You are feeling bloated and have an enlarged liver. You also have a sensation of a lump in the throat. The first line of treatment is usually
weight loss through a combination of a healthy diet and exercise. Losing weight if obese. Add fiber to your diet. Fiber will help better bowel motion and hence no
constipation. Constipation causes
acid reflux and
gastritis.
Take laxatives if required. Stay well hydrated with water and fluids so that your sodium-potassium level is normal. Control your blood sugar levels at all cost. Take antacids and PPIs to control
bloating of abdomen. It will also help in triggering hunger and helping in digestion. Since liver is enlarged avoid taking fried food, spicy food, oily food, processed food,
trans fat, refined flour, full fat dairy products, etc.
Take boiled food, lean meat, well cooked cereals, veggies, fruits, berries and all that is cooked. Avoid taking anything that is raw. You can take food cooked in a little olive oil. Take liver tonics and food that is good for the liver. Quit
smoking, drugs, alcohol, etc. Get clinically examined by a GP, get all required tests and investigations done so that you are treated as early as possible.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
