Patient's question:
I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor because of stomach pain. They said it was caused by internal heat. After taking the prescribed herbal medicine, I experienced stomach bloating and pain again.Doctor's answer:
Stomach pain and stomach bloating both fall under the category of stomach diseases. The management of stomach diseases is more important than treatment, so in daily life, we should strive to achieve the following: balance work and rest, ensure sufficient deep sleep and rest, avoid anger and emotional excitement. In terms of diet, avoid spicy, overly acidic, fried foods, as well as overly hot and cold foods. Avoid drinking coffee, alcohol, and smoking. Strive to eat small meals frequently, have regular bowel movements, and base your diet on nutrient-rich, high-calorie, easily digestible, and non-irritating foods.
