Is it better to eat or not to eat when you have a stomachache? I am a patient with stomach trouble with a history of twenty or thirty years. Stomach pain, acid regurgitation, belching, fullness, watery stools, loss of appetite, indigestion, and getting thinner every day. 1.70 meters tall and weighs less than 50 kilograms. Although I used traditional Chinese and western medicine, I still didn't get the ideal curative effect, and it was good and bad, which made me miserable. Later, under the guidance of a doctor, I searched for the reasons that could not be cured for a long time. I know that I am prone to get sick when I am angry, when my diet is inappropriate, when the weather changes, and when I am overworked, so I have made great efforts in self-care. More than two years have passed and obvious effects have been achieved. The specific methods of self-treatment of my stomach trouble are mainly as follows: First, keep warm in time. When the seasons change, especially before the arrival of autumn and winter, I pay special attention to keeping warm all over my body, especially my stomach. When it's time to add clothes, add clothes a few days earlier than people who don't have stomach problems. The second is to find a way to get rid of indigestion. I drink water on an empty stomach in the morning and before meals to moisten the gastrointestinal tract and enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis. Gastropathy is the most taboo indigestion. Cold storage of food will naturally cause stomach upset. You must go on a diet when you have a stomachache. When the stomachache stops, you can arrange your diet as usual. Vegetarianism also pays attention to mastering the law, timing and quantifying, and not being hungry; No matter what you eat, make the food hot, soft and digestible; Eat little or no greasy, spicy and sticky food; Eat slowly, don't overeat, and eat until seven or eight points are full. The third is to avoid smoking and limit alcohol. People with stomach problems must limit or avoid drinking alcohol. Nicotine in cigarettes damages gastric mucosa, excessive drinking damages spleen to stop diarrhea, and alcohol damages stomach and intestines. Avoid alcohol and tobacco is conducive to the recovery of stomach diseases. I quit both. The fourth is proper physical exercise. There are many kinds of sports activities suitable for patients with gastric diseases, such as walking, brisk walking, Tai Ji Chuan, fitness dancing and medical exercises. The above exercise is not strenuous exercise, which is beneficial to enhance gastric peristalsis. Through outdoor exercise, I can gradually adapt to the outdoor climate change, enhance my cold tolerance and build up my physique, so that the temperature change will not cause stomach trouble. That's how I keep exercising. Fifth, proper massage is also a good way to get rid of stomach trouble. Tap Zusanli point first. Zusanli point belongs to the stomach meridian, which is very important for strength and longevity, so tap it three or four hundred times every morning and evening. Then massage the gastrointestinal area. Every night before going to bed, I lie flat on the bed, put my hands together, and draw a circle in the gastrointestinal tract, clockwise and counterclockwise, until I feel that the gastrointestinal tract is hot and my surface is red. Pay attention to bending your knees when doing it, so that the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract can relax, and don't stretch, otherwise the effect will not be achieved. Finally, turn around. Every morning and evening, do the left and right waist turning movements 100 times. Sixth, appropriate medication. Be sure to take medicine on time when you have a stomachache. Stomach medicine is not as expensive as possible, especially don't be superstitious about those expensive new specific drugs. The key is to choose your own medicine with good curative effect in treating stomach diseases. Only the medicine that suits you is the best medicine. Dietotherapy is also an effective method to treat stomach diseases. Eating fresh ginger can drive away the cold. Someone asked me online, old Chinese doctor, are you a doctor?
