Patient's question:
I couldn't take too much nourishment since I was a child. Every time I ate a medicinal soup that was a bit overly nourishing, I would get diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Taking tonics causes abdominal discomfort and diarrhea, which is actually due to poor spleen and stomach function. It could be either deficiency or dampness, with varying causes.Recommendations: For those who cannot tolerate tonics due to deficiency, the focus should be on regulating the spleen and stomach. For those affected by dampness, the priority is to dispel dampness and strengthen the spleen. It is best to combine the four diagnostic methods for a comprehensive assessment.
