Gastric ptosis-induced bloating can generally be treated with medications that enhance gastric motility and aid digestion. After experiencing bloating, patients may use drugs such as domperidone (Motilium) or lactasin tablets to relieve discomfort. It is advisable to chew food slowly and consume easily digestible meals. Patients may also appropriately take stomach-strengthening and digestive remedies like hawthorn, which can help alleviate symptoms of bloating.
