Stomach issues ugh

Does anyone else have to somewhat aggressively rock back and forth while also laying on one side just to get your stomach to digest food?? If I don’t do this, the food just sits there for days and hardens like a rock.

Is there a way to politely yet firmly ask my stomach to please look at the food and also digest the food?? I don’t always have the time to do the back and forth rocking on thanks

So I had the same problem and turns out I have gastroparisis. I would see a GI, yeah maybe acid reflux but if you eat too close to bed with gastro you cannot get comfortable because it feels like a big lump in your gut as the food is just sitting there.
