What Causes The Feeling Of Abdominal Fullness Upon Intake Of Food?

My husband can only eat a few bites at a time, then he feels very full and miserable. We have been to the er and had a cat scan, with no answers. I bought him some boosts, some times he can drink 4-5 swallows before feeling miserable, other times only 1-2. Our family Dr. put him on Zantac with no help, I have even tried peppermint oil in a diffuser and peppermint candy. Nothing is helping him. Any ideas what is wrong or how I can help him?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
welcome to hcm,
I really appreciate your concern,
full and bloated abdomen after meals is due to gastritis ,,and indigestion
so plz take PPI like pan 40 mg daily twice for 15 days along with unizyme tab. for 15 days once daily
zantac is just H1 blocker which may not be potent enough for gastritis.
plz try to keep your sugar levels in control.
try to avoid alcohol regularly as it aggravate the gastritis


if pain is severe ,let it be controlled and then undergo UGI endoscopy to rule out the diagnosis .
Please let me know if you have any questions,
thanks.regards.
