What Causes Low Appetite When With History Of Pneumonia?

Intestinal flora alteration due to antibiotics used for pneumonia
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.
I am sorry for the horrible accident you went through. I am also happy that you're getting back to normality.
With regards to being full after eating, and taking into account your recent history of pneumonia, I can say as following:
You have been prescribed antibiotics to treat pneumonia. Antibiotics use is associated with alteration in GI flora and Candida overgrowth, which are giving the feeling of fullness.
Following are advised to be taken to ease your symptoms:
- probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- antacids after eating
- PPI in the morning to optimize stomach pH
- antifungal like Nystatin
- simethicone for bloating
If still no improvement, digestive enzymes to start after consultation with GI specialist.
Wish fast recovery!
