Patient's question:
A 60-year-old woman with chronic gastritis and enteritis, accompanied by chest tightness and loss of appetite, with some diarrhea symptoms. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, your condition is caused by a weak spleen and stomach. Strengthening the spleen is the key to treatment. For treatment, it is recommended to use Buxi Yichang Wan for relief, which has shown good results. Additionally, you can eat more beans and avoid spicy, greasy, and extremely cold foods. Foods that can help strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as cooked lotus root, chestnuts, Chinese yam, broad beans, beef, chicken, beef tripe, pork tripe, jujubes, carrots, and mushrooms, can be consumed more frequently.For patients with gastroenteritis, daily treatment primarily involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications and supplement with many vitamins, while also paying attention to diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
