Patient's question:
Takes a few days of taking Cisapride to cause stomach pain. What should I do if it keeps hurting?Doctor's answer:
Stomach pain is often caused by irregular diet that damages the spleen and stomach. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, while the stomach governs reception. When the spleen is weak, its transportation function declines, and undigested food cannot be absorbed promptly, leading to abdominal discomfort and a lack of appetite for dinner. Obstruction of the bowels can also cause stomach pain. It is recommended to follow the principle of strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach under the guidance of a TCM practitioner, and to treat with modified Xiang Sha Liu Jun Wan. It is important to maintain a calm mood, balance work and rest, and avoid extremely cold foods.Stomach pain can be very serious, so it is advised that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for targeted treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
