What Causes Heaviness In The Stomach After Eating Small Amounts Of Food?
Question: My wife is feeling stomach heavy even after eating very small food from last 10 days now she is feeling uneasy
Brief Answer:
Its due to Indigestion
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for choosing HCM.
She is most likely having Indigestion. The other possibility is Gastroparesis where the accommodative capacity of stomach and its motility is reduced .
Before going for evaluation for Gastroparesis I wold recommend that first we treat her for Indigestion .
I would recommend that she get a prescription for the following medications.
1. Rabeprezole+Levosulpride -- Every morning empty stomach.
2. Syrup Aristozyme -- 2 teaspoons 3 times a day after food for 7 days .
In addition let her avoid very oily food , non veg food , Potato . Other than potato eat more of vegetables and fruits .
After her lunch and dinner let her not just sit idle or sleep. Ask her to do walking for 10-15 minutes immediately after lunch and dinner.
I think with these measures her problem shall resolve .
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards
