Patient's question:
I have had superficial gastritis for over ten years. After meals, I feel bloated, and my stools are not well-formed, often incomplete, and watery or like liquid. There are many mucosal patches in my stools. My face is yellow and lacks luster, with thick white tongue coating and rotten patterns.Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis falls under the category of long-standing stomach diseases, primarily caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach. Generally, it is difficult for conventional medications to alleviate the condition. Standard treatments can only relieve symptoms, but the gastric mucosa continues to be constantly damaged. Some stomach medications may even further exacerbate the harm to the gastric mucosa, leading to chronic and worsening stomach disease.It is recommended to use a combination of bituminous sulfur, black jujubes, walnuts, gardeniae, poria, cardamom, magnolia bark, sparganium, pangolin scales, bupleurum, malt, safflower, Agarwood, iron gall powder, propolis, honey, and beeswax for treatment. This approach is effective and provides a proven therapeutic outcome.
