Patient's question:
Last year in the first lunar month, I had an endoscopy which revealed moderate dilated gastritis. I took traditional Chinese medicine for a whole year, but the severe stomach bloating and belching persisted. The belching sounds were loud, with continuous 3-4 belches in a row, and the pain was worse at night than during the day.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The symptom of belching in your case is due to insufficient gastric motility caused by chronic gastritis, leading to poor digestion. It is recommended that you actively manage your condition and seek treatment. Additionally, I suggest paying close attention to your diet—avoid spicy and irritating foods, and limit consumption of extremely cold, hard-to-digest foods. Maintain a regular eating schedule with fixed quantities at set times. I hope my explanation can be of assistance to you, and wish you a speedy recovery.
