Patient's question:
Sometimes I have acid reflux, but I digest dinner very quickly. Basically, if I eat too much, I'll have a bowel movement right after eating. I don't get constipated, but I still have bowel movements after eating, and I'm also quite overweight. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to the inability of clear Qi to ascend and the inability of turbid Qi to rise. The upward reversal of turbid Qi results in symptoms such as acid reflux and stomach acid. Generally, it is difficult for ordinary medications to (cure) this condition. In addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery of stomach acid.
