Patient's question:
On January 25, 2018, I was hospitalized for a week due to gastric ulcer bleeding. In March, a follow-up examination showed complete recovery. In May, I experienced a ventilator issue, anemia, and general weakness, discomfort, and fatigue. I received intravenous drips and took medication. I usually drink Huangqi Granules, and now my blood pressure is around 70 mmHg with the ventilator, everything is normal. I drink one bottle of cold yogurt daily, along with one banana, and my bowel movements have returned to once a day. However, they are like sheep droppings, one small piece at a time. Over the past two days, I have been drinking two bottles of yogurt daily, but my bowel movements still do not form properly. Yesterday morning, I ate pumpkin porridge and stir-fried spinach with pig lungs. At noon, I drank fresh ginseng stewed ribs and lotus root soup, which gave me a feeling of fullness without hunger. I had a little lemon water this morning, but it had no effect. At noon, I ate yesterday's leftovers and the leftover rib soup, which was fine. Before dinner, I drank more yogurt, and in the evening, I felt full again. Other than that, I have no discomfort. Why is this happening?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on what you mentioned, it is mainly related to your usual dietary habits. I suggest that you pay attention to developing good dietary habits, eat meals on time, avoid overeating, and consider eating smaller, more frequent meals. Focus on enhancing nutrition by consuming more vegetables and fruits. Pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion. Drink plenty of water and avoid spicy foods and beverages. Additionally, for patients with gastric ulcers, their dietary condition and care during treatment are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume light foods to prevent unnecessary harm. I hope the above advice can help you. Thank you.
