The consumption of fried foods with high fat content and strong spices and heavy seasonings, will cause stomach emptying to become slower while it damages the upper gut lining, which results in bloating and discomfort. The symptoms of functional dyspepsia and gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying) include early fullness, upper belly pain and abdominal bloating, which occur most often after consuming big or greasy meals.
Research on functional dyspepsia patients shows they tend to eat more fatty and sweet foods, while their eating schedule remains unpredictable compared to people without digestive problems. Medical advice for people with indigestion and bloating often includes limiting fried foods, rich gravies, spicy dishes, carbonated drinks, caffeine and alcohol, and instead choosing lighter meals with lean protein, cooked vegetables, and small amounts of healthy fats. The kinder pattern enables stomach emptying to become more efficient, while it minimizes gut inflammation which causes gas to become trapped.
