What Cause Sickness After Eating?

I always feel sick after eating and generally don't have much interest in food. Also, have more extreme like bloating, nausea, throat feels blocked. I will eat when hungry or even famished and only enough not to get some of these symptoms. Any suggestions?

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your can be attributed to GERD, which is caused due to relaxation of the sphincter at the lower part of esophagus.

Management consists of:
1. Lifestyle modification- like weight reduction, sleeping on the left side, or with upper body raised.
2. Dietary modification- avoid consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
3. Medical management- Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, Pantoprazole (which prevent acid formation in stomach)+ Domperidone preparations (strengthens the sphincter & prevents reflux)

So, it will be better to consult your treating Doctor/ Gastroenterologist.
Investigation like Ultrasound scan of abdomen & Upper GI endoscopy will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Wish you a good health.
Take care.
