During the New Year period, many people tend to eat more than usual, including large meals, sweets, fried foods, fatty foods, or drink alcohol at various parties, which can cause symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, heartburn, or aggravated acid reflux. This article will help you understand why these “sharp” symptoms occur and how to properly care for your esophagus and stomach so that your New Year can be enjoyable without suffering. 
&nbsp;
<h2>Why is it easy to feel bloated and have indigestion during the New Year? </h2>
When we eat heavily or consume high-fat foods, the digestive system has to work harder. The stomach secretes more acid to digest the food. Additionally, eating quickly, eating a lot, or lying down immediately after eating can cause excess gas in the digestive tract and food to remain in the stomach for a long time, leading to feelings of fullness, bloating, or heartburn. Especially for those who already have acid reflux or gastritis, the chance of flare-ups increases during this period. Factors that trigger symptoms include:
