Identifying Triggers
Certain foods can worsen dyspepsia symptoms, making it important to identify triggers. Spicy, fatty, or acidic foods are often problematic. Keeping a food diary can help pinpoint these triggers and guide dietary adjustments.
Dietary Adjustments
Once triggers are identified, making dietary changes can help manage symptoms. Smaller, more frequent meals can prevent bloating and fullness. Incorporating a balanced diet with fiber and avoiding late-night eating can also be beneficial.
