Dr. Zhou Chao
Patients with gastric ptosis may experience diarrhea after meals. If individuals with this condition have improper diets, symptoms such as diarrhea can occur. They should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination and also undergo stool tests to determine the exact cause and receive targeted treatment. Once diagnosed as related to gastric ptosis, patients should eat small, frequent meals and avoid spicy and greasy foods to reduce the occurrence of diarrhea.
