A friend of mine has a stomach problem. His stomach often hurts. What can he eat to reduce the pain or improve the condition?Doctor's answer:
Changed dietary habits: Avoid spicy, fried, smoked foods like grilled meat, as well as overly acidic or cold foods that are harsh on the stomach. Do not drink alcohol, and limit consumption of strong tea, coffee, etc. Eat more vegetables and rough fiber foods like celery, mushrooms, etc.Active dietary therapy and Tuina massage for health care: Warm foods like lamb and dog meat are effective for nourishing the stomach and are particularly good for stomach cold conditions.

Additionally, goji berries, tremella, jujubes, and walnuts can be eaten as snacks or added to dishes.
