Suggest Treatment For Stomach Ache And Bloating
Question: Is it possible to feel bloated and have stomach ache from eating too fast?
I dont know but i don really feel nauseous anymore like i used to be , before i visited my dr. He suspected the nauseous attacks after eating were caused by my irregular meals and prescribed me with meds for gastritis. a couple of times i still notice i gat this stomach pain which last a few seconds and Bloated. Could it be because i was eating too fast? I'm still trying to get my facts right and determine if i should visit the dr again . I am trying to remind myself to eat slower now , i used to be a slow eater . but i noticed recently i tend to eat faster, probably from have late lunch or dinner and i usually dont eat anything in between meals.

Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query. Your problem seems to be due to gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux. Our gastrointestinal tract has a forward propulsive movement (peristalsis) that moves the food material forward as it is digested, absorbed and finally expelled as feces. If somehow this movement gets hampered, food along with the digestive juices would stagnate, stomach acid will reflux into the food pipe and on the other hand the bowel habits would not be proper. Degradation of undigested food in the intestines by the intestinal bacteria would lead to the excess gas formation. The bloating is not due to eating too fast.
In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fibre intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
* Yoga and meditation should help.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I could help further.
