Patient's question:
My stomach has never been very good. Sometimes after eating spicy food, it will hurt soon after. And sometimes if I eat too much, I will feel bloated. When I see a doctor, they usually prescribe Western medicine. My friend says that taking too much Western medicine is not good, so you should take Chinese medicine instead. How effective is Chinese medicine for treating stomach problems?Doctor's answer:
Chinese medicine regulation is possible. The dietary treatment principle is to re-adjust the various functions of the stomach and establish good dietary and lifestyle habits. When eating dinner, chew food thoroughly to ensure it is fully mixed with digestive fluids. The diet should be light and low in irritation. Avoid overeating at dinner and do not take a nap until the food has been digested. In terms of medication, the combination of antibiotics, stomach acid inhibitors, and gastric motility drugs should be used for treatment. In addition to active treatment, patients with stomach disorders should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep at all times. Sufficient deep sleep is essential to help you recover quickly from the illness.
