How to manage indigestion and abdominal pain?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 33-year-old female. I am experiencing abdominal pain, bloating, and indigestion problems after taking food outside for the past two days. I think that I suffer from gastritis. I am interested in learning more about gastritis, its potential causes, and the recommended diagnostic procedures to confirm them. Additionally, I would like to know some dietary changes that may alleviate my symptoms and support the healing process. Are there specific foods or habits that I should consider or avoid? Kindly advise.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to iCliniq.

Gastritis is an inflammatory reaction that is mainly seen in the stomach and it is caused by irritant food substances, chemical ingestion, drug overdose, and stress disorder. This condition is diagnosed using gastric endoscopy. Nutritional changes or recommendations you need include having regular three square meals, avoiding starving, eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, eating all required healthy foods, and taking probiotic food supplements such as yogurt, and ice cream.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.
