Following advice

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.

- Having a fullness feeling after eating could be related to alteration in intestinal flora especially if you have a personal history of taking antibiotics recently.

- Gallbladder and stomach hyperacidity problems can also give the same symptoms.

- Constipation is another possible cause. Are you having problems with constipation?

For the moment, I can only advise to:
- eat often and small portion
- chew up slowly
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- avoid spicy, chilly, oily foods
- do not use straw when drinking fluids
- take simethicone for bloating

Hope it helps.
