Features: Many patients are unaware of the dietary do's and don'ts for gastrointestinal diseases and have little knowledge of dietary therapy. Cases where improper diet triggers or worsens the condition are common. In light of this, the authors were invited by the publisher to organize experts and write this book. The book provides detailed introductions to dietary do's and don'ts for gastrointestinal diseases, as well as syndrome differentiation dietary recipes for the acute phase (excess pattern) and nourishing dietary recipes for the phase (deficiency pattern). Patients can choose based on their specific condition. Dietary therapy typically requires some time to gradually show effects. Patients should actively cooperate and not give up halfway. People have different constitutions, and after illness, there are differences such as cold and heat patterns, yin and yang deficiencies, and qi and blood deficiencies. It is essential to follow the principle of "cooling the hot, warming the cold, tonifying the deficient, and draining the excess" to select foods and medications targetedly. Otherwise, it often leads to the opposite effect and fails to achieve the desired outcome.
