Patient's question:
I am 168 cm tall and weigh only 90 jin, basically just a bamboo pole. I'm too thin. But when I was a child, I was quite chubby. I don't know when it started, but I've been getting thinner and thinner. And now my stomach isn't doing well either. Oh, it's so painful. I don't understand if it's because of the stomach problems that I'm thin. How can I gain weight? With stomach problems, why can't I gain weight?Doctor's answer:
In terms of diet, avoid eating raw and cold foods to prevent injuring the spleen and worsening damp-cold. Boil 50 grams of Chinese yam, 250 grams of Job's tears, and 30 grams of Poria in porridge and take it at 9:00 AM. This can strengthen the spleen, replenish qi, dispel dampness, and raise yang. Persisting in taking it can eliminate the pathogenic damp-cold in the body. For those with stomach problems, while seeking professional treatment, they can also use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment. In daily eating habits, it is crucial to avoid both excessive hunger and overeating, and never indulge in binge eating.
