Patient's question:
At the beginning of the month, I went to the hospital and the doctor prescribed Pantoprazole Enteric-Coated Capsules, Anweiwei Capsules, and Maple Leaf Gastrointestinal Health Capsules. After taking the medication, my bowel movements became much smoother and more formed. However, now that I have stopped taking the medicine, my bowel movements have returned to their previous state—unsmooth again. I want to ask if there might also be an issue with my intestines. What exactly is going on?Doctor's answer:
When suffering from stomach problems, it is generally said that "three parts treatment and seven parts care" is the most effective approach. Medication is important, but a balanced diet and emotional well-being are equally crucial. For example, if you stop belching, you can stop taking Gaidele; if your stomach and abdomen are no longer bloated, you can stop taking Madonglin. I believe recovery is not a problem.In terms of diet, avoid stimulating and hard foods. The general principle is to follow a diet that is non-irritating, low in fiber, easily digestible, and rich in nutrients. Eat small, frequent meals. Stay relaxed and maintain a positive mood while eating.
Since patients are directly affected by gastritis, we should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If gastritis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
