In real life, many people experience symptoms of indigestion after eating, especially those who have had their gallbladder removed or those who are bedridden due to trauma. How should this situation be handled?

In clinical practice, medications can be used for treatment. In terms of medication selection, probiotics for the intestines can be utilized along with digestive enzymes. It is recommended to use medicinal probiotics rather than purchasing health supplements.

Additionally, people who are bedridden for a long time may have insufficient gastrointestinal motility, so medications that enhance gastrointestinal motility, such as Itopride tablets, should be used. Medication is one aspect; diet also needs attention. It is important to consume easily digestible foods and adequately supplement dietary fiber, which means eating plenty of vegetables and easily digestible foods.

(Please use medications under the guidance of a clinical doctor and based on specific conditions)

Harm of Functional Dyspepsia

Functional dyspepsia is very common in life, especially among adolescents, which can lead to a further decrease in appetite. Food accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, making it difficult to move downwards, causing stomach and intestinal bloating. Over time, it affects the appetite, and the patient's mental and nutritional status will be impacted. It is necessary to use some digestive aids and drugs that promote gastrointestinal motility in a timely manner. Attention should also be paid to dietary adjustments, eating regular meals in fixed quantities, and eating more soft, easily digestible food. Try to eat less raw, cold, or spicy food.

What are the symptoms of indigestion?

Indigestion, also known as functional dyspepsia, is primarily characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting, due to impaired food ejection function. Poor appetite can lead to a relative lack of body energy, resulting in symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Indigestion is common among children and the elderly or frail. In treatment, it is important to adjust the diet to focus on soft, easy-to-digest foods, eat more fresh green vegetables, and avoid raw, cold, or spicy foods.

Indigestion Abdominal Massage Method

Patients with indigestion may experience upper abdominal pain, nausea, belching, acid reflux, heartburn, or cause diarrhea, or constipation. If patients experience indigestion, they can massage the abdomen clockwise, focusing on the area around the navel. During the massage, gently rub without applying too much force, and hot compresses can also be used for treatment. If the effect is still poor after the above treatments, consider using medication, such as drugs that regulate intestinal flora, and Bacillus cereus can also be used.

What should I pay attention to usually for indigestion?

Indigestion mainly occurs in diseases such as chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer. In addition to identifying the cause and receiving standardized treatment for indigestion, attention must also be paid to diet and lifestyle habits. It is necessary to quit smoking and drinking alcohol, avoid strong tea, coffee, spicy, fried, grilled, sweet, and cold foods. Furthermore, avoid consuming milk, soy milk, glutinous rice, and sweet potatoes. A diet easy to digest should be prioritized, such as consuming porridge, soups, noodles, and well-stewed meats. Additionally, increasing physical activity is important as it can promote gastrointestinal motility and improve symptoms of indigestion. Avoid staying up late at night.
