If you keep eating after your stomach is full, its muscular walls will expand to make room for extra food. That can lead to increased pressure in your stomach and the symptoms that go with it
The larger the meal the longer it sits in your stomach before its smaller food particles empty from the stomach. A normal-sized meal typically takes four to five hours to completely leave the stomach; a hefty Thanksgiving meal could take as many as eight hours.
If food isn’t properly chewed, your stomach takes longer to break down large food particles and empty them into the small intestine. Focus on vegetables. Fill half your plate with green salad and other vegetables so you don’t overdo the rich side dishes.Alcohol can worsen post-meal bloating by delaying gastric emptying even after just one or two drinks. Carbonated beverages, be it champagne or water, contain gas that can increase pressure in the stomach.Don’t beat yourself up if you end up overindulging. Instead, go for a short walk to help stimulate the movement of food through the digestive tract.
