Bloating and dizziness may result from gastrointestinal disorders such as duodenal ulcers or gastroenteritis. When ingested food ferments within the gastrointestinal tract, it generates excessive gas, increasing intragastric pressure—leading to symptoms including gastric distension and dizziness. Proper gastric care in daily life can help prevent these symptoms. Consuming stomach-soothing porridges—such as millet and pumpkin porridge—is beneficial; pumpkin is rich in pectin, which helps protect the gastrointestinal mucosa.
