Q Which foods make it worse? Is there anything I should avoid?
A Fatty food, flour-based and sweet food, overeating, and late dinners are the main ones. They stay in the stomach longer and slow emptying further. Still, how much you put in at once matters more than what you cut out.
Detailed Answer
Fatty food remains in the stomach for a long time and drags post-meal bloating out. Flour and sweets often increase gas and distension, and eating within three hours of bedtime combines with lying down to invite reflux. Alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine weaken the stomach's regulation as well.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Because reactions differ from person to person, keeping a short record beats memorising a list. Whatever left you most uncomfortable within two hours of eating is your own trigger. Reducing just those few items changes the load your stomach carries.
