I am having discomfort in my upper stomach, but the doctor said when ever i eat my food takes a bit while to be digested and sometime leaves pain.
Hi:
Do all foods cause this discomfort? If not, try to do a process of elimination to figure out if there is or are certain foods that cause this discomfort. Are you eating a lot of roughage that may be harder to digest. The stomach acids that break down the food do not bread down plant/vegetables because plant cells have an inpenetrable cell wall. That's why they are referred to as roughage. They cause wastes to be moved thru your gastrointestinal tract. this can cause discomfort if you are consuming a lot of these types of vegetables and fruits, etc. Are you drinking enough water to help things along. Could you be eating too much in one sitting? This would cause a lot of discomfort. If none of these things apply and especially if you still have serious concerns or pain, you should insist that your doctor or a different one, do some testing. Don't stop asking questions if you are not satisfied. Get a second opinion. Best wishes. Please let us know.
