How do I manage my digestive discomfort after meals?

Question

Hello doctor,

After eating my food or anything like dairy products, etc., my stomach bloats, and there is pain below the breast on both sides, but mainly on the left side. On touching the ribs, I have pain. I had undergone appendicitis surgery in the past. Please help me out. It has been there for a very long time.

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I would like to know if you have had any weight loss recently, used painkillers excessively, or had black-colored stool or blood with vomit? Do you have vomiting? Or a family history of any stomach cancer?

If all these are negative, then you are suffering from functional dyspepsia. That can be managed by lifestyle dietary modification and medications.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
