Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber; individuals with poor digestive function may experience bloating after consuming them. It is recommended to eat sweet potatoes approximately two hours after a meal. If indigestion persists, it may be caused by underlying conditions such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, or gastric erosion. In such cases, consult a healthcare provider for gastric function tests and gastroscopy. If these examinations reveal no abnormalities, you may consume small amounts of sweet potatoes about two hours after meals. Additionally, maintain a light and bland diet in daily life.
