Patient's question:
On January 8, 2013, the gastroscopy showed a diagnosis of chronic superficial gastritis with scattered elevations and erosions in the gastric antrum. After taking amoxicillin, clarithromycin, rebamipide, and aluminum-magnesium potassium for more than ten days, the symptoms did not improve. On February 25 of the same year, a follow-up gastroscopy revealed alternating red and white patches in the gastric antrum mucosa, predominantly red, with mild congestion and no bleeding points. The hp test was negative. Currently, I still have no appetite, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal bloating, and belching. I hope the expert can give me some advice. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is primarily caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to clear Qi not ascending and turbid Qi not descending. Conventional medications can only alleviate symptoms but not cure the root cause, treating symptoms rather than the root. Some medications may even further exacerbate damage to the gastric mucosa, resulting in chronic gastritis that is difficult to treat or even worsening over time. The key to proper treatment is crucial. I recommend using traditional Chinese medicine such as Hei Fan (Chinese Ferric Carbonate), Hei Zao (Black Jujube), He Tao Ren (Walnut Kernel), Zhi Zi (Gardenia Fruit), Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis), Sha Ren (Cardamom), Hou Pu (Magnolia Bark), San Ling (Sparganium Stolon), Chuan Shan Jia (Trionyx Sinensis), Chen Qu (Fermented Wheat), Mai Ya (Malt), Shang Jia (Upper Turtle Shell), Xia Jia (Lower Turtle Shell), Hong Hua (Safflower), Hainan Chen (Acorus Calamus), Tie Dan Fen (Iron Gall Powder), Feng Jiao (Propolis), and Feng La (Beeswax) for combined treatment. These traditional Chinese herbs can rapidly clear damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, ( is already in Chinese, so it remains unchanged), eliminate the root cause of the condition, regulate spleen and stomach function, and quickly repair the gastric and intestinal mucosa, ultimately eliminating all discomforting symptoms and fully restoring the body's health pathways!
