I feel bloated after heavy meals. Why?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am having a severe indigestion problem. I am a 26-year-old male. Three years ago, I have used a strict diet in order to lose a big amount of weight in which I believe it affected me and affected my digestion. Since then I only have one big meal a day which is mostly dinner and I bloat myself after eating which most of the time leads me to throw up my food. During the day, I do not crave anything but coffee. I gained weight and I do not mind it but I want advice regarding my issue. Do you suggest any indigestion enzyme (other than changing my lifestyle)?

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

How frequently do you vomit per day? Is that related to any specific kind of meal? Do you have diarrhea as well? How had you lost your weight? Which specific dietary therapy? How much weight had you lost and how much have you regained now?

Have you ever had any medication or investigation for your illness? Do you have a history of any other major illness? Do you have any surgical history?

If you have not tried any medication, then I will initially start a medication and get some investigations done. If it does not work then I might advise another investigation.

Hello,

Please start the prescribed medications and do the advised investigations in first chance. Meanwhile, please take small and frequent meals (preferably soft diet). But in case, you do not get relief then you will have to go for investigations.
