Patient's question:
Often have stomach acid almost every day, even without eating, it's still acidic and painful. Medications don't help, it remains acidic. Two years ago, I had an endoscopy for gastritis and have been taking medication ever since, but there's no improvement. Previously, I was diagnosed with a serious illness and gained twenty pounds in three months, with thick, white tongue.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered to be chronic gastritis, digestive dysfunction caused by weak spleen and stomach. It is recommended to take a four-drug combination of Omeprazole, Clarithromycin, Amoxicillin, and Bismuth Potassium Citrate Granules to treat chronic gastritis and weak spleen and stomach. This does not align with the suggestion to take Fuzi Lizhong Pills and Guipi Pills for health maintenance. It is advised to maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid overtime work, and keep a positive mood to reduce stress. The diet should be light, easy to digest, with small, frequent meals. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods, as well as foods that produce acid and gas. Reduce fat intake, quit smoking and drinking, and have regular follow-up check-ups. For patients with gastric acid, in addition to taking medication for symptomatic relief, dietary therapy can be used as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
