(Concern) My digestive function is really very poor;;;
I live with my elderly mother, so I make sure to have breakfast every morning.
For lunch, just bring something light like sweet potatoes, eggs, or fried rice to work and eat it.
Do you skip dinner or eat if you have plans??
I'm having a meal of that level.
As soon as I think I ate a little too much, I get indigestion right away.
My upper stomach suddenly feels tight, and I can't breathe well.
I feel short of breath, and my upper abdomen is squeezing as if it's bloated or full.
Since my stomach and intestines aren't very good to begin with, I try to be careful.;;;
Sometimes there are company dinners or gatherings with friends, so whenever I feel like I've eaten a little more than usual, I quickly get rid of it.
Either constipation or stomach upset;;;;; accompanied
The interesting thing is, eating a lot definitely causes indigestion, so if you just control the amount, you can manage it.
Sometimes I get indigestion frequently even if I don't eat much;;;
I ate a sweet potato for lunch on Monday as well, but I still feel unwell because of indigestion;;;
Basically, indigestion, constipation, and diarrhea keep alternating continuously.
I keep feeling bloated and indigestion, so my body also swells up, and the swelling turns into fat.
My limbs feel a bit numb due to swelling.
I tried drinking cabbage juice because it's supposed to be good, but it didn't work well.
Once you experience it, the symptoms usually last for at least 2 to 3 days, and since it is often accompanied by a headache, it is usually quite difficult.
Walking 10,000 steps a day and drinking 1 liter of water diligently every day
I am also doing sweating exercises 2 to 3 times a week for 20 to 30 minutes...
Of course... I lie down too much except when I'm working;;;;;;;;; That must be the problem, right??
They say not to lie down immediately after eating, but on weekends I keep eating and lying down right away.
When I had an endoscopy at the hospital, they said it was just basic gastritis. Anyway, it's true that eating well, having regular bowel movements, and sleeping well are key to good health.
Since two things are not being resolved well, everyday life is quite exhausting.
But previously, a Korean medicine clinic told me that there's no need to drink too much water from Guji. In fact, it might even impair digestion.
I have a question... Is the answer ultimately to eat less and move more???
Indigestion refers to various dysfunctions of the digestive system, such as poor digestion, persistent fullness after meals, loss of appetite, belching, heartburn, and acid reflux. It is often caused by factors like eating habits and psychological stress, even when no underlying disease is detected through various tests.
To prevent indigestion, it is advisable to avoid salty and spicy foods, greasy foods, irregular meals, overeating, late-night snacks before bed, alcohol, caffeinated beverages, and carbonated drinks. In particular, when under stress, the autonomic nervous system is stimulated, which can cause various digestive problems. Therefore, it is important to eat slowly with a joyful attitude, and to maintain psychological stability and relaxation by taking adequate rest.
When digestion is not smooth, taking a light walk can be helpful, and it is also beneficial to drink water mixed with 'mu' containing the digestive enzyme diastase or 'maesil extract' that promotes digestive juices and regulates stomach acid. However, if the pain is severe or symptoms persist, consultation with a gastroenterologist may be necessary.

After reading it, I think it's correct. I know I tend to eat salty and spicy foods, and I often have very irregular meals on weekends. I frequently drink caffeinated beverages (coffee), and there's nothing to say about stress;;;
Plum extract... Hmm, it's too sweet;;;;;;;;;;;;
Four questions about indigestion
1. Should you fast when you have indigestion? = Skipping a meal once when experiencing indigestion symptoms is generally okay. Especially for patients suffering from post-meal pain syndrome, eating can cause bloating and a feeling of fullness, making it worse. However, habitually skipping meals can lead to nutritional imbalance, affecting the overall health. Therefore, it is not always advisable to fast when experiencing indigestion.
2. Is porridge good for indigestion? = Liquids like porridge are expelled from the stomach much faster, but since indigestion symptoms often occur independently of the stomach's expulsion function, simple liquid diets are not generally recommended. Additionally, indigestion is often caused by an overreaction of the gastrointestinal tract to stomach acid, making the type of food less relevant. Of course, the type of food can influence the occurrence of symptoms, but in terms of treatment, it has little effect, so there is no need to unconditionally restrict foods you like.
3. Is an endoscopy necessary for indigestion in people in their 20s and 30s? = Not all cases of indigestion require an endoscopic examination. However, if there is a family history of stomach cancer or if indigestion symptoms persist despite short-term medication and supportive therapy, an endoscopy must be performed to differentiate conditions such as reflux esophagitis or stomach cancer. Even in very young individuals in their 20s and 30s, stomach cancer can occur, so it is advisable to undergo the examination at least once. Additionally, symptoms of indigestion can also be caused by other conditions such as thyroid disorders or lung diseases, so other potential causes should also be considered.
4. Does exercise treat indigestion? = Moderate aerobic exercise improves circulation within our bodies. Additionally, exercise provides psychological stability, helping to improve symptoms of indigestion. However, excessive physical activity can cause imbalance in blood supply to our bodies, potentially worsening indigestion symptoms, so caution is advised.
