Patient's question:
I have superficial gastritis and bile reflux. The doctor prescribed Rabeprazole, Domperidone, and Famotidine. After eating, I feel like vomiting, nausea, acid reflux, heartburn in the upper abdomen, bloating, sore throat, itchy throat, a burning sensation in the nose, congestion, itchy nose, and sometimes runny nose. I am now taking traditional Chinese medicine. What should I do about the superficial gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis and bile reflux fall under the category of long-term stomach conditions. Your situation is primarily caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to the inability of clear Qi to ascend and the failure of turbid Qi to rise, resulting in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, and upper abdominal burning. Generally, conventional medications are difficult to (cure). Through long-term clinical practice, traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated many highly effective treatment methods. It is recommended that you use traditional Chinese herbs such as black sulfur, black jujube, walnuts, gardenia, poria, cardamom, magnolia bark, sparganium, pangolin scales, bupleurum, wheat sprouts, upper scapula, lower scapula, safflower, (Hainan), iron gall powder, propolis, honey, and beeswax in combination for treatment.
