A member asked:

Does our stomach bloat when we drink water during meals? should we take water before, after or during meals? kindly advice

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stomach emptying...: ...For most is 1-2 hours after liquid, 3-6 hours after solids are ingested. Carbohydrates, proteins, small frequent meals exit faster than fats &/or large meals. Medications, diabetes, neuropathies, some infections can alter stomach emptying as can mechanical delays due to stenosis & scarring of the pylorus, gallbladder disease, small bowel pathology.Get checked if post-prandial bloating persists.
