Why does eating cold things cause stomach pain?

Patient's question:

I get stomach pain when eating cold food, but not when eating spicy food or drinking beer. I have a bit of bad breath, but my appetite is very good. Why is that?

Doctor's answer:

It is likely chronic gastritis, so your stomach is quite sensitive, and stomach pain may recur after eating raw and cold foods. It is recommended to take acid-reducing medication and medications that protect the gastric mucosa, but it is still advisable to go to the hospital for a check-up. Additionally, you should pay attention to your diet and avoid eating extremely cold foods, spicy foods like chili peppers, and it is also recommended to consume them in moderation.
Furthermore, for patients with stomach pain during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and eat more light and nutritious foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
