In the clinic, patients often ask, “Why can’t I get the right treatment for my stomach problems? Why does it always recur after years of taking Chinese and Western medicines? Why is there no major problem with gastroscopy but there is always stomach pain or bloating? In fact, to answer these questions, we must first have a correct understanding of gastric disease. The most common stomach symptoms are stomach pain and bloating; the main cause of stomach pain is damage to the stomach, including inflammation, ulcers, tumors, etc. The main cause of stomach bloating is abnormal stomach dynamics and abnormal digestive function, including gastrointestinal dysfunction, functional dyspepsia, gastric diplegia, etc. Generally speaking, damage in the stomach can be detected by gastroscopy, while abnormalities in gastric dynamics and digestive function cannot be detected by gastroscopy, which is the root cause of why many patients have little gastroscopic problems but more obvious clinical symptoms. General gastric pain will be relieved after treatment with acid control drugs (e.g. omeprazole) and drugs to protect the gastric mucosa (e.g. aluminum thioglycollate, Daxil), while abnormalities in gastric motility and digestive function can be solved by giving gastrointestinal motility drugs (e.g. morpholine, mosapride) and supplementing digestive enzymes; but why can’t the patient’s stomach symptoms be effectively controlled even after taking the drugs? This starts from the source of the symptoms. 1. Diet. Diet is the main reason for the occurrence and recurrence of stomach symptoms. If you eat sour and sweet food, it will aggravate the stomach pain, which many patients understand, but they are not clear about the scope of sour and sweet food included, in fact, almost all fruits belong to sour and sweet food, in addition, cakes, bread and many other foods are sweet, if you can not pay attention, it will cause recurrence of symptoms. The main causes of gastric distension are irregular diet, too fast, too full, etc. Unrestrained and irregular eating will destroy the normal rhythm of gastrointestinal movement, thus causing disruption of its motor function; in addition, the type of diet has a great impact on gastric distension, gas-producing foods such as potatoes, taro and indigestible foods such as fatty meats and fried foods will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract; there is another category that we are more It is easy to ignore that food containing too much gum or more sticky food, such as gum, gum, solid cream, etc. will hinder the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract, so gum is not suitable for patients with gastric distension, its stomach protection is mainly applicable to patients with stomach pain. For the regulation of diet is the key step to control the symptoms of gastric disease, the so-called gastric disease should be “three points of treatment, seven points of nourishment”, the nourishment here does not mean eating something to supplement, nor does it mean resting and recuperating, but should be arranged in accordance with the rules of the stomach itself reasonable and appropriate diet, through the protection of the stomach, the stomach’s unique ability to self-recovery can The problem of recurring symptoms can be solved by itself. 2. Emotion. Compared with diet, patients pay far less attention to emotions, many patients will consult the doctor what to eat or not to eat when they visit the doctor, in fact, patients with chronic gastric disease due to “long-standing disease into a doctor”, for the regulation of diet has been very careful, the main reason for their recurring symptoms is emotional. Long-term tension, anxiety will make excessive secretion of gastric acid and cause ulcers difficult to heal, serious emotional stimulation may even induce ulcers; at the same time, when people are in a state of tension is to slow down the movement of the stomach and intestines, thus aggravating the situation of gastric distension, many patients will find a relaxed mood or vacation when the symptoms of gastric distension, stomach pain will be reduced, the reason lies in this. Due to emotional causes of gastric disease repeated use of Western medicine treatment more than the effect is not ideal, Chinese medicine treatment is relatively advantageous. If the patients who are usually more impatient and irritable, most of them show dry mouth and bitterness, like cold and fear heat, red tongue, yellow moss, smooth pulse, belong to liver and stomach heat, can be treated with Sifang Stomach Tablets (capsules) and Gastric Reversal Capsules, etc. Patients who are usually more calm, most of them show symptoms related to emotions, like sighing, chest tightness and belching, light red tongue, thin white moss, string pulse, belong to liver and stomach disharmony, can be treated with Qigong Gastroparesis Granules, Most of the patients with introverted personality show poor mood, poor appetite, light tongue, thin moss and string pulse, which belong to liver and spleen deficiency, and can be treated with liver relief tablets and stomach healing tablets. 3.Life habits. In addition to emotions, work and rest for gastric disease is also very influential, normal people at night stomach acid is not secreted, stay up late stomach acid will be secreted, if you do not eat something stomach acid will cause damage to the gastric mucosa and make stomach pain repeatedly, if you eat and will not be enough time to empty and aggravate the performance of gastric distension. Therefore, a rhythmic work and rest can be of great help to the recovery of stomach problems. Stomach problems caused by poor rest are often mixed with cold and heat, and the deficiency and reality are seen together, you can consider using stomach nai’an to treat, because in addition to its role of tonifying the spleen, moving Qi and activating blood, it also has the effect of tranquilizing the mind. In addition, some elderly people, usually weak people, sick people suffering from stomach problems are not easy to heal, these people generally manifest as stomach pain, gastric distension is not very serious, but often repeated, the symptoms will be aggravated after careless diet or cold, usually afraid to eat cold things, the symptoms are more serious when fasting, after eating will be slightly better, this is the problem of weak spleen and stomach, you can use Xiang Sha Yang stomach pill or Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Pills to regulate, if the fear of cold is more obvious, feel the cold stomach patients can also use the Rizhong Pills or Annexes Rizhong Pills to treat. 4, regulate the use of drugs. In addition to the above predisposing factors, the standardized use of drugs and the treatment of H. pylori is also the key to controlling recurrent gastric disease. Many patients in the week after taking the clinical symptoms will appear to varying degrees of improvement, and therefore discontinued not a few, in fact, the treatment of gastric disease is required to maintain a certain period of time, such as gastric ulcer treatment needs to maintain 6-8 weeks, the treatment of duodenal bulb ulcer needs to maintain 4-6 weeks, anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment is generally 1-2 weeks, not less than seven days; if the course of treatment is not reached, stop the drug. it is easy to cause recurrence of the disease. In addition, H. pylori as one of the main causes of recurrent gastric disease has become a consensus, the eradication of H. pylori need to use Western medicine for standardized and systematic treatment, otherwise it is difficult to eradicate; if after treatment still can not be eradicated, or the patient does not tolerate sterilization treatment, you can use Chinese medicine treatment, these patients will generally have bad breath, thicker tongue yellow, Chinese medicine believes that this is due to damp heat. You can try Sanjiu Gastrodia to clear heat and dampness for treatment. Although gastric disease is an easily recurring disease, but if each patient can achieve a regular life, appropriate diet, relaxation, standardized medication, should be able to cure, if after the above treatment still have symptoms, you need to be hospitalized to rule out other diseases caused by stomach discomfort.
