Patient's question:
My stomach doesn't feel too good, and I often can't eat much. I don't have much appetite in my mouth. I've loved spicy food since I was a child and can't eat without it. Although I have a stomach problem, I still really want to eat spicy food. I was wondering if people with stomach problems can eat spicy food?Doctor's answer:
People with stomach problems should not eat chili peppers, as they are pungent foods that can trigger a recurrence of stomach issues. If you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Some traditional Chinese medicine can be prescribed to regulate the condition. Avoid fried and pungent foods. There are several treatment methods for stomach problems, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach may differ. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they notice symptoms.
