Why are you experiencing bloating and severe abdominal pain after eating?
What you're describing sounds like gastroparesis, a common gastrointestinal problem in Parkinson's. This happens when your stomach empties too slowly, which can make you feel full very quickly after eating just a small amount. The bloating and abdominal pain you're experiencing are typical symptoms of this condition.
Parkinson's affects your body's ability to control digestion properly. This is because the disease impacts the nervous system that helps coordinate digestive functions. The result is that food sits in your stomach longer than it should, causing uncomfortable symptoms like:
- Feeling full after eating very little
- Bloating
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Nausea
This is definitely something you should discuss with your doctor. They can help determine if gastroparesis is the cause and recommend treatments to help manage these symptoms and improve your comfort after meals.
In the meantime, some people find that eating smaller, more frequent meals and choosing foods that are easier to digest can help reduce symptoms.
