Q Is there any food I should especially avoid? Sometimes I feel a sloshing even just from drinking water.
A Greasy or slow-to-digest foods, and water or soup drunk in large amounts at once, burden a sagging stomach. It's good to reduce soup during meals and eat warm, easily digestible food slowly.
Detailed Answer
With gastroptosis, food and water linger long in the stomach, so greasy and slow-to-digest foods or large amounts of water/soup drunk at once become a burden. The sloshing feeling from water pooling in the stomach is also due to this. During meals, reduce the amount of soup and eat warm, easily digestible food slowly, chewing thoroughly.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
In Korean medicine, the state of water stagnating and sloshing in the stomach is seen as retained "fluid-rheum (水飮)," and we regulate the stomach's movement together with fluid metabolism. In addition to avoiding irritating foods, combining treatment that helps the stomach push down pooled food and water reduces both the sloshing and bloating together.
