The institution of small,frequent meals that are low in carbohydrates will diminish the incidence of these symptoms.Resting after eating and drinking fluids between (rather than during)meals will also help alleviate these symptoms.Smoking and caffeine are not related,and eating only three meals a day is not warranted.
