How to relieve stomach pain

Patient's question:

Feeling nauseous and painful, eating makes it hurt, not eating also hurts, feeling very hungry, no acid reflux

Doctor's answer:

Disease Analysis: Gastritis, also known as inflammation of the gastric mucosa, can be further classified into acute gastritis and chronic gastritis based on histology.
Guidance: Since Helicobacter pylori is one of the main causes of chronic gastritis, selecting medications that can eliminate this bacterium can improve symptoms and reduce gastric mucosal inflammation. Antibiotics that have a bactericidal effect on Helicobacter pylori include Amoxicillin, Metronidazole, Furazolidone, Tetracycline, and Clarithromycin, among others. In clinical practice, to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, these antibiotics are often combined with other medications for better efficacy. Examples include Lanzu + Metronidazole and Lanzu Triple Therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine products like Weishu Quan Neng Weiyao also have a good effect in killing Helicobacter pylori. Li's Gastritis Patch, an external application, delivers medication to the affected area through acupoints to eliminate inflammation and achieve significant therapeutic effects. If gastritis is treated based on Helicobacter pylori but does not improve, it may indicate that the gastritis is caused by gastric vegetative nerve dysfunction. As long as the vegetative nerve function controlling the gastrointestinal tract is regulated, even the most stubborn gastrointestinal diseases can be cured! "An Shen Hu Wei Ji" has a special effect in treating gastric vegetative nerve dysfunction and can generally eliminate insomnia, stomach pain, stomach bloating, nausea, and other symptoms within 5 days.
Lifestyle Management: As the saying goes, "Humans eat five grains and, who can avoid illness?" When food enters the body, the first organ affected is the stomach. The gastric mucosa is rich in blood vessels and has the functions of storing, digesting, and transporting food. Therefore, improper diet is a significant factor in causing stomach diseases. Chronic gastritis is a very common digestive disorder characterized by non-specific inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Based on histological changes in the gastric mucosa, it can be classified into superficial, atrophic, and hypertrophic types. The common clinical symptoms include: dull pain or fullness in the upper abdomen, frequent belching, acid reflux, decreased appetite, weight loss, and diarrhea. Since dietary factors play a crucial role in the development of chronic gastritis, developing good eating habits is key to preventing and treating gastritis, which is also what distinguishes it from other diseases. In general, when eating, follow these guidelines, and chronic gastritis can be considered half-cured.
- Slow: Chew food thoroughly to reduce irritation to the gastric mucosa from rough food.
- Moderate: Maintain a regular eating schedule, avoiding overeating and irregular meals.
- Clean: Pay attention to food hygiene to prevent external microorganisms from harming the gastric mucosa.
- Fine: Consume refined, easily digestible, and nutritious foods as much as possible.
- Light: Eat less greasy, sweet, rich, and spicy foods, and limit alcohol and strong tea.
For more severe chronic gastritis, especially atrophic gastritis, simply paying attention to diet is insufficient. Appropriate traditional Chinese medicine treatment should be combined.
