Q. Feeling full quickly even after eating a small amount of food (early satiety)

A.

The stomach's 'adaptive relaxation' function is impaired. When food enters, the stomach needs to stretch, but it's become stiff and unable to expand.

📝 Detailed Answer

우리의 위장은 음식이 들어오면 풍선처럼 부드럽게 늘어나서(적응성 이완) 음식을 받아들일 공간을 만듭니다.

하지만 스트레스를 받거나 위장이 긴장하면 위벽이 딱딱하게 굳어 늘어나지 못합니다. 그래서 밥을 몇 숟가락만 먹어도 위가 꽉 찼다고 느껴 수저를 놓게 되는 것입니다.
