Experiencing gastric distension after consuming yogurt is typically due to intestinal inflammation or indigestion. You may consider taking medications that enhance gastric motility or aid digestion, as appropriate. In daily life, opt for light, easily digestible foods and avoid overly greasy meals. Engaging in moderate physical activity can also help alleviate gastric distension. If symptoms persist without improvement, it is advisable to undergo a gastroscopy.
