Patient's question:
Last March, my stomach felt slightly uncomfortable, and I took Daxi. It improved and worsened intermittently. In September, after catching a cold and eating greasy food, my stomach condition worsened. I took some medicine, but it didn't help. I always felt bloated, had belching, poor appetite, weight loss, and discomfort every day. I want to ask if the stomach discomfort could be superficial gastritis?Doctor's answer:
The stomach needs to be nurtured gradually. It is not advisable to eat cold or greasy foods. You can try acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your stomach and spleen. Chinese patent medicine Baohe Pill can help relieve stomach bloating and indigestion with fewer side effects than Western medicine. Acupuncture points include Zusanli, Zhongwan, Shousanli, Liangqiu, Weizhong, and Pishu. Traditional Chinese medicine requires syndrome differentiation, including the color of your tongue and urine. Gastritis is a condition that is not easily relieved. Friends with this condition should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting gastritis and believe that recovery is possible.
