Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Food digestion is slow due to slow peristalsis and slow absorption.
2. Due to reduced abosorption digestion will be low. Enzyme supplements and probiotics could help in digestion.
3. Also additionally fiber rich diet from fruits and vegetables. Possible gastritis, causing abdominal pain, could be increasing his feeding. Proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole could be helpful.
4. Good amount of water intake before food will be helpful. Vit A, B-complex and Vit C supplements will be helpful. For spondylosis, physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises will be helpful.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
