    Hi zumbafever,
    We haven’t experienced indigestion issues but dad had had chronic GI issues which we flagged to his MM team and they adjusted his medications to help and prescribed other drugs to help control it. Have your team been able to offer any advice or medications to help at all? xx

    According my knowledge I provide a suggestion-

    Dealing with chronic indigestion can be challenging, but there are several strategies that may help alleviate symptoms. Here are some tips that may be helpful:

    Avoid trigger foods: Certain foods can trigger indigestion symptoms, such as spicy or fatty foods, chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. Identify your trigger foods and avoid them as much as possible.

    Eat smaller meals: Overeating can put pressure on the digestive system, leading to indigestion. Try eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to ease the burden on your digestive system.

    Take your time when eating: Eating too quickly can also lead to indigestion. Take your time when eating, chew your food well, and try not to rush through meals.

    Maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight or obese can put extra pressure on your stomach, leading to indigestion. Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce symptoms.

    Manage stress: Stress can exacerbate indigestion symptoms, so finding ways to manage stress is important. Try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation.

    Avoid smoking: Smoking can irritate the digestive system and contribute to indigestion. If you smoke, consider quitting.

    Consider medication: There are over-the-counter and prescription medications available to treat indigestion, such as antacids, H2 blockers, and proton pump inhibitors. Talk to your doctor about the best option for you.

    It’s important to note that chronic indigestion can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or ulcers. If your symptoms persist despite making lifestyle changes or taking medication, it’s important to speak with your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of treatment.
