Abdominal distension (a sensation of fullness or bloating in the stomach) is often closely associated with gastric dilation, typically resulting from gas production due to fermentation of food within the stomach. Treatment may include oral prokinetic agents to enhance gastric motility. It is also important to evaluate whether gastric mucosal injury is present; if mucosal damage is confirmed, gastroprotective medications may be prescribed. Additionally, dietary management—such as maintaining regular meal times and consistent portion sizes—is essential.
