Have you been tested for gastroparesis? That is when the stomach doesn’t work well so food stays in the stomach for prolonged periods of time. It is diagnosed by getting a gastric emptying study. There are medications that can be tried if diagnosed. You would need to see a GI doctor to diagnose and treat. Best of luck to you!!
