Based on the patient’s symptoms—diarrhea following overeating—the condition is likely gastritis. Excessive or rapid eating increases the gastrointestinal burden, leading to indigestion and associated discomfort such as abdominal distension and diarrhea. It is recommended that the patient take appropriate gastroprotective and digestive-aid medications. In daily life, the patient should adjust their diet to ensure balance and regularity: eat three meals a day at fixed times and in appropriate portions; adopt a “smaller, more frequent meals” approach; avoid overeating or binge eating; maintain good food hygiene; avoid excessive fatigue; and keep the abdomen warm.
