Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Please take foods rich in probiotics such as yoghurt/curd, kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, kimchi, miso, kombucha, buttermilk, natto, and cheese.
  • Eat fibre-rich foods to promote digestion.
  • Avoid eating too much, eating too fast, eating high-fat foods, or eating during stressful situations that can burden your stomach.
  • Eating small meals at regular intervals so the stomach does not have to work as hard or as long.
  • Smoking can irritate the stomach lining; hence please avoid it.
  • Sleep with your head elevated (at least 6 inches) above your feet, and use pillows. This helps digestive juices flow into the intestines rather than the oesophagus.

Patients Concern

Disease/Condition Glossary

Flatulence: Flatulence is the movement of gas from the digestive system through the back passage. It is caused due to overeating, swallowing more amount of air, smoking, and foods that cause excess gas, like beans, lentils, dairy products, and carbonated drinks. Symptoms include belching/burping, stomach cramps, increased abdomen size, and chest pain.

Bloating: Bloating is the swelling or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen due to gas in the stomach and intestines. Symptoms of bloating include stomach pain, discomfort, and gas. Bloating makes a person burp or belch. It is usually caused due to problem foods that produce more gas and lactose intolerance.

Belching: The discharge of excess wind from the mouth into the stomach or upper intestine is known as belching. The majority of belching is caused by swallowing too much air. This air rarely reaches the stomach and instead accumulates in the oesophagus.
