Dear; thanks for using our service , specially the spirit that you have considering your age. The intestinal movements start getting slower as we get older, so it is harder to digest the food. That is why we need to eat slower in order to get smaller pieces in the intestines. WE should avoid spicy food, vegetables as broccoli and cauliflower that will produce more gas and discomfort.Avoid carbonated drink and drink more water. You should feel better doing these adjustments.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
