What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Nausea?
Question: I frequently experience a feeling of being very bloated 1-4 hours after eating, whether I ate a lot or not. this condition may affect me 12 out of 14 days, and then 2-3 times the next entire month. I am never nauseous - its just as though the food collects in my stomach and doesn't progress.
Brief Answer:
Postprandial fullness...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
Most likely you are suffering frim dyspepsia overlapped with microbiota disturbance in the gut.
Dyspepsia refers to nonspecific upper abdominal symptoms which may include discomfort, bloating, a feeling of unusual fullness with very little intake of food also termed as postprandial fullness, nausea, loss of appetite, heartburn, regurgitation of food or acid, and belching.
It's not necessary that all symptoms are there in every patient. Postprandial fullness usually indicates some obstruction of the stomach outlet, mass within the stomach or compression of the stomach. In these instances, just a little food may reach a point where the stomach cannot stretch any further.
An ultrasonogram should be done initially.
Take Acotiamide 30 mg tablet thrice daily(highly effective in treating postprandial fullness. You may need to get a prescription for it.
Our gut consists of communities of good bacteria responsible for proper fermentation and food digestion. However, when these good bacterias are destroyed, food is partially fermented causing the release of gases. Take a probiotic like VSL# 3 daily with Tab Nexium 40 mg twice daily for the time being.
Hope I was helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
