Patient's question:
I used to enjoy drinking alcohol in Sichuan for over a decade, and now I've been drinking frequently for another decade. But since four years ago, whenever I drink beer (no matter what kind of alcohol), I get diarrhea on the third day. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was diagnosed with chronic gastritis. About an hour and a half after meals, I feel a burning sensation in my stomach that lasts for about half an hour. It hurts a lot, but I rarely get heartburn. I have very shallow deep sleep. I really want to drink some alcohol, but I really can't. Seeking advice from the wise: How should I treat this?Doctor's answer:
There are many gastrointestinal diseases, commonly including indigestion, gastritis, gastric spasm, and peptic ulcers. It is necessary to undergo examinations such as gastroscopy, color Doppler ultrasound, and the 1?C urea breath test. If all tests show no abnormalities, it is necessary to consider symptoms caused by gastrointestinal autonomic dysfunction. Your condition first requires a medical examination, and if needed, traditional Chinese medicine treatment may be considered. It is recommended that you visit a gastroenterology department for examination to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment for early recovery. Consume easily digestible foods and avoid foods.
