Practical measures that may help reduce GI discomfort include: Eating smaller, more frequent meals rather than large portions, to reduce the burden on a stomach that is already emptying more slowly Avoiding high-fat or heavily processed foods , which can exacerbate nausea and slow digestion further Staying well hydrated , particularly if diarrhoea is present, to prevent dehydration Eating slowly and chewing food thoroughly to ease the digestive process Avoiding lying down immediately after eating , which can worsen nausea For constipation specifically, increasing dietary fibre intake (fruits, vegetables, and wholegrains) and maintaining adequate fluid intake are first-line approaches consistent with NHS dietary guidance
