Patient's question:
I am 18 years old and have had a 10-year history of stomach pain. What I want to ask is whether drinking a very small amount of dry red wine before bed can alleviate my stomach condition?Doctor's answer:
Wine has the effect of softening blood vessels. Additionally, the small amount of alcohol in wine can stimulate the stomach and cause pain. Pay attention to a light diet in your daily eating habits, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods that can upset the stomach. You can cook some porridge with Job's tears, glutinous rice, jujubes, and Chinese yam, which have a very good effect in nurturing stomach Qi. For patients, if the stomach pain condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with proper medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of stomach pain. In addition, patients need to maintain a cheerful mood to avoid worsening the condition.
