Q I run a restaurant with irregular meals. I feel full after just a little food and bloated for a long time after eating. Will treatment work even if I can't fix all my eating habits?
A Early satiety after just a little food and post-meal bloating are typical of postprandial distress syndrome, where the stomach empties late and doesn't expand well. Treatment proceeds even if you can't fix everything perfectly, but adding the habit of eating slowly and in small amounts makes it much faster.
Detailed Answer
Functional dyspepsia is broadly divided into two types, one of which is characterized by prolonged postprandial fullness where the feeling of a packed stomach lasts long after meals, and early satiety where you feel full after just a little food. It occurs because the stomach can't send food downward on time and can't expand sufficiently during meals. Even if it's hard to manage every meal in a busy daily life, just eating slowly and chewing thoroughly rather than gorging all at once reduces the burden.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine treatment focuses on raising motility so that the stomach accepts the same amount of food smoothly and empties on time. We organize together, starting with easy-to-keep eating habits during treatment, helping you practice them without strain.
