Will Tangyuan and Lantern Festival eat too much cause indigestion?

Male  34 years old 2018-06-23
After eating glutinous rice balls or the Lantern Festival occasionally, I felt very uncomfortable with my stomach. Sometimes I felt heartburning. I even had pantothenic acid and hiccups. That was really uncomfortable. Why does this happen?

    The main ingredients of Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are glutinous rice noodles, whether they are water-milled or dry-milled, only the taste effect is not the same. Glutinous rice is a food for strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and has the effect of promoting gastric acid secretion and helping food digestion. It is often heard that glutinous rice is difficult to digest because it is very sticky. In fact, after experimental research, hot glutinous rice food digests quickly, but only cold glutinous rice food digests slowly. Tangyuan and Lantern Festival are foods with very high glycemic index and calories. Adding too much fat in the filling heart will increase the secretion of stomach acid, so when you eat more on an empty stomach more often, it is easy to heartburn and acid reflux, which affects digestive function.
