Is the stomach pain from hunger while losing weight a sign of illness?

Patient's question:

Previously, due to dieting, I developed a stomach problem where I would get stomach pain when hungry. Eating powder without food would also cause stomach pain, and I never had a thorough check-up. After practicing proper diet for a year, it seemed to improve on its own. But I'm not sure if it truly got better or if there are other issues. I'm now too afraid to diet again. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you check your gastroscopy or seek direct medication treatment. Taking medication directly is only an empirical treatment, and its drawback is the inability to accurately assess the duration of treatment and the specific dosage. Medications that can be taken include omeprazole and bismuth colloidal gel. Pay attention to your diet, avoid spicy and cold foods, maintain regular eating habits, and try to eat easily digestible foods. Always keep your emotions stable. Gastritis is also very controllable. Eat more pumpkin porridge and yam porridge to regulate your spleen and stomach.
