After consuming a breakfast high in protein, the patient developed symptoms of gastric distension and abdominal pain, likely related to indigestion. Oral digestive-enhancing and stomach-soothing medications may be used for treatment. When gastrointestinal absorption function is impaired, food remains in the stomach for an extended period, where it is exposed to gastric acid—leading to fermentation and resulting in bloating and discomfort. It is advisable to avoid foods that are excessively greasy.
