Abdominal pain
My mother has abdominal pain predominantly over the upper abdomen. It occurs especially after having food (spicy food and food from outside). It is associated with distension and feeling of fullness and nausea. It does not get relieved on medications like antacids or pantorazole. Gets relieved spontaneously after 4 to 5 hrs. No aggravating factors. Also has flatulence.

the complains are consistent with Gastritis, dyspepsia.
here are a few things you should ask her to do.
1. avoid oily and spicy foods.
2. have meals in smaller portions. have 5 smaller meals in a day rather than 3 full meals.
3. drink plenty of water.
4. don't sleep immediately after food. let there be atlas a 2-3 hour gap between dinner and sleep.
