Food stagnation is similar to stagnation, and some of the differences between the two lie in the etiology of the disease and the symptoms manifested. 1. Difference in etiology: food accumulation refers to the symptoms manifested by uncontrolled diet, or the spleen and stomach accepting putrefaction (carrying and digesting food), resulting in the stagnation of food in the stomach and intestines. Stagnation refers to the symptoms that the spleen and stomach are unable to digest and stagnate in the intestines and stomach due to overeating cold, fat, sweet and hard things. 2. Symptom difference: the clinical symptoms of food stagnation include abdominal distension and pain, belching and swallowing of acid (swallowing of acid from the stomach upward), or vomiting of acidic food, nausea (lack of appetite, decreased food intake) anorexia, and acidic, foul-smelling or undigested food in the stool. Clinical symptoms of stagnation include yellowish color (yellowish and lusterless), swollen abdomen, more sleep and less food, difficulty in bowel movement, low-grade fever that does not go away, and irregular duration of fever. To summarize, some of the differences between food accumulation and stagnation are that the causes are different and the symptoms manifested are different. If you have any of the above conditions, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital and make a reasonable choice according to your own situation under the guidance of a professional physician’s diagnosis.
