Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • It seems like you are having an indigestion, and the motility of your gut has gone down.
  • This usually happens after eating some high fat diet like meat, cheesy food, and etc on the previous day.
  • I advise you to take citrus fruit juice like lemon juice, orange juice.
  • Avoid meat and cheesy food for next 2 days.
  • You can take Prokinetic medications like tablet Itopride 150mg twice daily before foods for 2 days.

Hope it helps. Consult a general medicine physician online.
