Hello, the sensation of heat in your stomach may be caused by recent consumption of spicy or irritating foods. For now, you may consider taking some medications that protect the gastric mucosa to help relieve this symptom. Additionally, pay close attention to your diet over the coming days: avoid hard-to-digest or irritating foods, and opt instead for light, bland meals. Increasing your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables can effectively promote intestinal peristalsis and digestion. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
