Preparing for your 🦃 day spread this week? Make sure your digestive system is ready and understand how dyspepsia can affect your stomach during or after eating.
Dyspepsia, better known as indigestion, affects people of all ages and ethnicities. If you have dyspepsia, you might feel full during a meal; have painful fullness after a meal; or feel heat, burning or pain in your upper belly region that ranges from mild to very bad.
Indigestion is caused by many things. Adjust your eating habits to avoid the following and prevent uncomfortable GI symptoms during your meal.
🚫 Eating too fast.
🚫 Eating too much in one sitting.
🚫 Eating high-fat, greasy or spicy foods.
Instead, try to:
✅ Eat at a slower pace.
✅ Allow enough time for meals.
✅ Don’t eat right before you go to bed.
Many people can manage occasional or Thanksgiving-related indigestion with lifestyle changes. But your symptoms are unique to you, and there could be other causes of indigestion, such as GERD.
