What Is The Cause And Remedy For Feeling Full And Bloated Post A Small Meal ?

I often feel full and bloated after a small meal. No matter how early I eat dinner, I m kept awake with upset stomach and excess saliva . I take tums/malox, used to help some but last few weeks doesn t help at all.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your symptoms are suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and possibly gall bladder stones. For the GERD, i would suggest that you take Prevacid OTC 1 hour before meals. Also, have small, frequent meals and eat early at night. If this doesn't help, see a physician who can prescribe a prokinetic agent like domperidone. I would also suggest that you undergo an ultrasonography, a simple, non invasive and inexpensive investigation which would help us rule out gall bladder stones.
Hope this helps
