Question 1

daughter is 8 and she feels like she is going to pass out after every meal?

Accepted Answer

Postprandial: hypotension. Digestion is a complicated job that requires precise coordination between the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems. An early task is rerouting extra blood to the stomach . To compensate for this  blood vessels far from the digestive system narrow. In some people,  blood vessels don't respond as they should. This causes some people to fall, others to faint.

Question 2

why do i go to the bathroom after i eat a meal?  this is everday and almost after every meal

Accepted Answer

Gastricolic reflex: When you eat , you GI tract  gets activated in order (mouth to rectum/anus)  like a tidal wave. So you may feel like having bowel movement 30-60 min after meal. Your stool is not what you ate , is what was stored in the colon (it takes about 16-24 hrs to digest food before it turns into stool).

Question 3

chest pain after every meal. what's going on.

Accepted Answer

Unsure: Best to visit with your doctor and share your complete history.  Some people have reflux after eating which is felt in the chest, other may have esophageal motility problems that can be painful.  Cardiac causes are always important to consider regardless if the pain is felt in the chest.  Please ask for help from your physician.

Question 4

why do i get headache after every meal?

Accepted Answer

Try smaller meals: There is no good answer, however, it would be worthwhile reducing the size of the servings. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 5

should flossing be done after every meal?

Accepted Answer

Ideally.............: Yes. As dentists we are happy when patients floss at least once per day. After every meal is better yet. We should shower (or bath) at least every day. After working in the garden or other project where i might get soiled or sweaty, i will shower as well. So, it also depends on what you ate for each meal (less important for fruits and vegetables compared to a steak sandwich and shoo-fly pie).

Avoid heartburn trig: It is important to pay attention to the types of foods you are eating for dinner.  If you are having garlic, onions, tomatoes, spicy or greasy foods, caffeine or mint flavoring in your foods or beverages, this can trigger reflux or heartburn.  Check with your doctor to see if you are a good candidate for Zantac (ranitidine) or like medication.  Sleep with the head if your bed elevated.  Eat 3 hours before bed.
