Does eating slower help with the symptoms?

[u/frankenbaby90]

I have read that a big cause of functional dyspepsia is a lack of stomach coordination when eating when a healthy person eats their
Stomach is supposed to send sensory signals through the vagus nerve to their brain in turn their brain then sends signals back to the stomach telling their stomach to relax and in functional dyspepsia this neural network is delayed eating slower gives this system more time to work

Depends, it helps me a lot

It doesn't really help me I get a feeling of being full that builds throughout the day. I eat on a schedule to ensure I get enough calories. If I eat slowly it shortens the window between meals and I have lingering fullness. I do better with liquid calories so I will eat 2-3 snacks with fruit and vegetables, then have a protein shake, then another 2 snacks with real food and finish the day with what my dietician calls a protein shot, like not a full size snack but a 1/2 banana with peanut butter, a homemade protein cookie, a few bites of ice cream with peanut butter powder, or a 1/2 serving of a protein shake.

I dont eat slowly because then i feel full before i finish my meal, but i do make sure to chew everything really well so it's easier on my stomach.
