What Is Chronic Indigestion?
Indigestion (dyspepsia) is a clinical syndrome that is caused by gastric motility disorders, and also includes gastroparesis and esophageal reflux disease with poor gastric motility. Indigestion is mainly divided into functional dyspepsia and organic dyspepsia. Functional dyspepsia belongs to the categories of "stomach", "stomach pain", and "noisy" in Chinese medicine. The disease is in the stomach and involves organs such as the liver and spleen. Guide stagnation and other treatments.

Introduction to Indigestion
- Indigestion is a disease caused by gastric motility disorders, and also includes gastroparesis and esophageal reflux disease with poor gastric motility. Indigestion is mainly divided into functional dyspepsia and organic dyspepsia. Functional dyspepsia belongs to the categories of "stomach", "stomach pain", and "noisy" in Chinese medicine. The disease is in the stomach and involves organs such as the liver and spleen. Guide stagnation and other treatments.
Clinical symptoms and diagnosis of dyspepsia
- First, upper abdominal pain
- Upper abdominal pain is a common symptom, and some patients have abdominal pain as the main symptom, with or without other upper abdominal symptoms. Upper abdominal pain is often irregular. In some patients, upper abdominal pain is related to eating, manifested as fullness, relieved after eating, or manifested as persistent abdominal pain between 0.5 and 3.0 hours after a meal.
- 2. Early satiety, bloating, and belching
- Early satiety, abdominal distension, and belching are also common symptoms, which can appear alone or in a group, with or without abdominal pain. Early satiety refers to a feeling of satiety but a feeling of satiety shortly after eating, causing a significant decrease in food intake. Upper abdominal distension usually occurs after a meal, or it becomes worse after a continuous meal. Early fullness and bloating are associated with belching.
- Third, the symptoms of functional dyspepsia
- Many patients are also accompanied by mental symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, headache, inattention, etc. These symptoms are related to fear of cancer in some patients.
- Functional dyspepsia: Those who have the symptoms of dyspepsia described above, without an exact explanation of the organic disease, are called functional dyspepsion (FD). This type of dyspepsia has the highest incidence. experience. The cause is mainly related to mental and psychological factors, such as mood swings, sleep status, poor rest, and alcohol and tobacco stimulation. Statistics from Western countries account for about 20% to 40% of digestive diseases. According to the symptoms, FD can be divided into 3 subtypes:
- Ulcer-like dyspepsia
- (2) Dyspnea-like dyspepsia type, which is mainly characterized by clinical symptoms of gastric retention. Patients have epigastric pain or discomfort that is difficult to locate, often caused by eating or exacerbated after meals, and at the same time, post-meal upper abdominal swelling , Early satiety, nausea or vomiting, poor appetite, etc.
- (3) Patients with a specific dyspepsia type who have symptoms of FD but do not meet the characteristics of the above two groups.
- Organic dyspepsia: After examination, it can be clearly identified that the dyspepsia symptoms are caused by a certain organ disease, such as liver disease, biliary disease, pancreatic disease, diabetes, etc. For these patients, the main treatment is to treat the cause, supplement digestive enzymes or improve gastric motility to relieve indigestion.
- (4) Organic indigestion: after examination, it can be clearly determined that indigestion symptoms are caused by pathological changes in an organ, such as liver disease, biliary disease, pancreatic disease, diabetes, etc. For these patients, the main treatment is to treat the cause, supplement digestive enzymes or improve gastric motility to relieve indigestion.
- Therefore, indigestion symptoms should be checked in time after the occurrence of other diseases.
Causes and Pathology of Indigestion
- There are many causes of indigestion, including chronic inflammation of the stomach and duodenum, which makes the normal peristalsis of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum dysfunctional. The patient's mental discomfort, long-term depression or sudden violent stimulation can all cause it. Gastroparesis is caused by diabetes, primary anorexia nervosa, and gastrectomy.
- Diseases caused by gastric motility disorders
- Gastrointestinal diseases can cause indigestion, including chronic inflammation of the stomach and duodenum, and cause normal peristaltic dysfunction of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
- Gastroparesis
- It is not that the stomach is paralyzed, but that the motor function of the stomach is reduced. Under normal circumstances, when food enters the stomach, the stomach can swell to accommodate the food. At the same time, the stomach has a strong contractile force and peristaltic force, which discharges the food to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption. In addition to muscle movement, this emptying movement is also controlled by the autonomic nerve.
- Mental factor
- The patient's mental discomfort, long-term depression or sudden violent stimulation can all cause it. Digestive function of the elderly is easily affected by emotions. Sometimes the food is slightly rough or cold and the food is too greasy. It is worth emphasizing that the mild indigestion that is generally self-treated at home is mostly caused by bad mood, overworked, cold, cold or too much food that is difficult to digest, with only slight epigastric discomfort, fullness, heartburn, etc. symptom.

- Indigestion can be caused by idiopathic, congenital, inflammatory, infectious, or pancreatic diseases, and can also be secondary to a variety of systemic diseases. If celiac disease is a gluten-sensitive bowel disease, it is a primary intestinal malabsorption syndrome. Due to the lack of a certain peptidase in the small intestine mucosa, the gluten metabolite -gluten protein cannot be completely broken down, and gluten has a strong damaging effect on the small intestine mucosa. Eating gluten locally stimulates the production of lgA antibodies in the intestinal mucosa, and can form an antigen-antibody complex with lgA, which is deposited in the intestinal mucosa, and an allergic reaction occurs with the participation of complement, causing damage to the intestinal mucosa. Malabsorption syndromes include tropical and non-tropical malabsorption syndromes, and celiac disease in children. The malabsorption syndrome, which is prevalent in tropical regions, is characterized by chronic fatty diarrhea, multiple nutrient deficiencies, stomatitis, megaloblastic anemia, and effective antibiotic treatment; while children with celiac disease and non-tropical malabsorption syndrome are mainly Is intolerant to gluten and causes malabsorption syndrome.

Diagnosis and treatment of indigestion
- The prevalence of gastric cancer in China is higher than that in the West. In case of indigestion accompanied by alarm symptoms, further examination should be performed. We should pay attention to family history of tumors, and the age is more than 40 years old as a reference, but it should be closely combined with clinical. For patients with obvious emotional factors or psychological disorders, relevant examinations should be carried out in a timely manner, which is more conducive to a clear diagnosis and explanation of the condition.
- If the patient does not have the above situation and is generally in good condition, or has received relevant examinations in the past, the symptoms have recently recurred, or the relevant examinations are temporarily unavailable, empirical treatment can be used. Empirical treatment should combine the characteristics of indigestion symptoms and the relationship between symptoms and meals, and speculate its possible pathophysiological basis.
- The gastroduodenal motility of the healthy people is characterized by migrating compound exercise (MMC), in which the MMC stage is normal, but the gastric food distribution is abnormal after meals. Laxative damage to the stomach after a meal or abnormal sensation of dilation may be related to early satiety. About 50% of FD patients' stomach and duodenum are highly sensitive to mechanical stimuli, which can explain that although FD patients eat a small amount, they are prone to symptoms of upper abdominal fullness. In addition, decreased duodenal acid clearance caused by duodenal motility disorders is associated with nausea. The symptoms of FD patients on fasting may be based on abnormal MMC activity, including a reduction in the number of MMC stage III episodes, weakened MMC stage II motivation, and duodenal gastroenteric reflux. These may explain that some patients have symptoms on an empty stomach. Do not lighten or even worsen afterwards. Patients often dare not eat more to avoid worsening symptoms.
- Paying attention to the relationship between meals and dyspepsia helps to analyze the pathophysiology of dyspepsia, that is, acid-related diseases or power-related dyspepsia. Food can buffer gastric acid and increase gastric pH value, so it can reduce the symptoms caused by gastric acid stimulation. If the patient suffers from discomfort, pain, or swelling in the upper abdomen on an empty stomach, which is reduced after a meal, it is likely to be an acid-related illness. If the patient has symptoms such as upper abdominal discomfort, pain, and early saturated upper abdominal distension after eating, but no symptoms on fasting, or symptoms on fasting, when exacerbating after a meal, pay attention to whether there is too much or improper eating, so that stomach digestion occurs The load becomes heavier or appears to be inconsistent with the digestive physiology of the stomach. If there is no food factor, the above symptoms can be regarded as dyspepsia associated with gastric motility disorder. The cause may be an organic disease or FD. For the above situation, it is recommended to choose antacids or acid inhibitors for the treatment of acid-related diseases, and to use motility agents to treat gastric dysfunction-related dyspepsia. The medication time is 2 weeks. If the symptoms are reduced or disappeared, the above judgment is further supported; if it is not effective, further inspection is recommended.
- Diagnostic criteria (1) There are symptoms of epigastric discomfort such as epigastric pain, epigastric distension, premature satiety, belching, nausea, and vomiting, which last at least 4 weeks or accumulate more than 12 weeks in December
- (2) Endoscopic examination did not reveal organic lesions such as gastric and duodenal ulcers, erosions, tumors, esophagitis, and history of the above diseases;
- (3) Examination of liver, gallbladder and pancreas by laboratory, B-ultrasound and X-ray;
- (4) No diabetes, kidney disease, connective tissue disease or mental illness
- (5) No history of abdominal surgery. For the selection of scientific research cases, it is necessary to exclude those with irritable bowel syndrome at the same time, so as not to affect the comparability of the study; no new organic lesions were found after regular follow-up, and the follow-up time was more than 1 year.
- (6) Differential diagnosis: See the diagnostic criteria for diseases that need to be identified. Among them, it should be pointed out that in the past, those who had heartburn and acid reflux symptoms but no reflux esophagitis on gastroscopy were classified as reflux FD. These patients have been classified as gastroesophageal esophagus with negative endoscopy. Reflux disease.
Causes of indigestion
- 1. Psychological and mental stress;
- 2. Bad eating habits, including irritating food (coffee, strong tea, sweets, greasy, cold, etc.) and bad eating habits (including fasting, frequent consumption of irritating food, and irregular eating or overeating, etc.);
- 3. Influence of ambient temperature;
- 4. Helicobacter pylori infection is also one of the main causes of indigestion in some FD patients.
Harm of indigestion
- First, diarrhea indigestion leads to disruption of intestinal balance and diarrhea. In fact, diarrhea is also a kind of protection at this time, excreting the toxins from the body, and taking antidiarrheal drugs too early is often not desirable and will cause obstruction.
- Second, constipation eat too much food, spicy, fried, cold ... If these foods are piled up together, it will cause children with constipation. Children's constipation will cause toxins to accumulate, which will endanger children's health.
- 3. Abdominal pain: There are too many things accumulated in the belly, abnormal intestinal peristalsis, which directly leads to vomiting and abdominal pain in children. In severe cases, taking medicine at home cannot alleviate it. It is necessary to go to the hospital for examination, which is a more serious consequence.
- Fourth, people with indigestion of gastric cancer are always unwilling to eat more and sleep poorly because of their discomfort, which affects their physical health and normal daily life. The prevalence of gastric cancer in China is higher than that in the West. Be careful of the serious consequences of long-term indigestion.
Indigestion treatment principles
- The etiology and pathogenesis of functional dyspepsia are not fully understood. Most scholars believe that the disease is caused by a variety of factors. The main pathogenesis is now recognized as gastrointestinal dyskinesia, abnormal gastric acid secretion, visceral hypersensitivity, and mental illness. The effects of psychological factors, dietary factors, Helicobacter pylori infection and gastrointestinal hormones are still being explored. The choice of functional dyspepsia treatment methods is empirical. There is no one method or drug that has a positive effect on all patients, and there is no objective and reliable standard for determining the effect. The basic principle of treatment is to adopt individualized and comprehensive treatment measures based on the establishment of a trusting doctor-patient relationship. One of them is an important treatment method.
TCM Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Indigestion
- Functional dyspepsia belongs to the categories of "stomach", "stomach pain" and "noisy" in Chinese medicine. The disease is in the stomach, involving the liver and spleen. The pathogenesis is mainly the weakness of the spleen and stomach, the unfavorable Qi, and the loss of stomach. Under normal physiological conditions, the spleen is transported, the stomach is accepted, the spleen is raised and the stomach is lowered, the spleen is happy and dry, and the stomach is wet and dry. It belongs to the five elements. Liver-draining and sexual hilarity, in the five elements belong to the tree, long-term emotional disorders, depression and discomfort, make the liver qi stagnation, dredging and loss, liver and wood soil, spleen and stomach disorders; overeating, overeating and cold, Food is not changed, phlegm is damp, spleen is not uplifted, and gas is not lowered; spleen and stomach are depleted or tired, and the spleen and qi are deficient. Dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, loss of physical fitness, water to wet, valley to stagnation, dampness and stagnation, heat and cold, heat and stomach ache. The above results in gastrointestinal motor dysfunction, with chest tightness and choking in the upper part, epigastric pain in the middle, and constipation in the lower part; stomach qi does not rise but rises, belching and sourness, vomiting and heartburn, etc .; Stomach depression, epigastric bulging, appetite and early satiety, stool can not help but help. Therefore, when treating functional dyspepsia, pay attention to strengthening the spleen and stomach, relieving the liver and regulating qi, so that the spleen can be raised, the stomach can be lowered, the liver qi can be relieved, and the disease must be treated.
- Liver qi and stomach type
- Due to the fierce competition in today's society, the pace of life is accelerating, the pressure of work and study is increasing, mental stress, emotional depression, easily lead to liver qi stagnation, stomach trauma, spleen and stomach injury, acceptance and transport of water valley dysfunction, resulting in gastrointestinal dysfunction. Symptoms: stomach bloating and pain, tingling and pain, chest fullness, appetite, sigh, irritability, or anxiety, change with emotional factors, thin white tongue coating, pulse string. Expelling the liver and qi, eliminating stagnation.
- 2. Eating stagnation
- Due to the improvement of people's living standards, people are often prone to overeating, eating fatty and thick, hurting the spleen and stomach, obstructing the middle coke machine, losing health, and having no right to be cooked. Symptoms: abdominal fullness, rotten acid, nausea, or vomiting and indigestible food, thick tongue coating, slippery pulse. Governance to digestion and stagnation, and stomach lowering.
- 3.Spleen and stomach weakness
- The corpus spleen and stomach are weak, or due to various reasons, the spleen and stomach are weakened due to prolonged damage to the spleen and stomach. Symptoms: full stomach, early fullness after meals, belching, not thinking about diet, tasteless, heavy limbs, often self-interest, white greasy tongue, slow pulse. Expelling spleen and qi, and stomach dampness.
- 4. Cold and heat interlocking, gas does not rise and fall
- Due to the misuse of the agent, Zhongyang was damaged, external evils came in by chance, or the heat dwindled over time, the cold and heat were interlinked, and the gas did not rise and fall. Symptoms: stomachache is full and painless, burning and noisy swallowing acid, bitter mouth, bowel diarrhea, thin yellow and greasy tongue coating, number of pulse strings. Expelling pain and suffering, and stomach dispelling.
Topical application of Shen Ju points
- Bitter and spicy soil, spicy and hot. Scattering the temperature, promoting gastric motility and enhancing gastric motility.
- Usage: 5 grams of bitter and spicy soil, use rice vinegar to make a paste, and apply topically to Shenjue point. Replace every 24 hours.
Indigestion in infants and young children
- Introduction
- Inflammatory dyspepsia in infants and young children refers to: Childhood is the fastest growth period in the human life. High protein, fat, carbohydrates and various vitamins are required for balanced intake. weak. Ingestion of excessively hot food precipitates easily in the body.
- To prevent dyspepsia in infants and young children:
- 1. Reasonable diet
- There is an old saying, "Children don't know how to be hungry." Children don't eat enough to eat. This situation requires an adult to help him control. Even if he likes to eat again, he can't eat by his temperament, whether it is meals, snacks or fruits, it must be moderate. Allow children to develop good habits in eating and make their internal organs better adapted.
- Second, relieve the symptoms of getting angry
- Try to choose breastfeeding. The fire-clearing and appetizing products made from natural plants can alleviate the child's fire symptoms and achieve the fire-reducing effect of "one clear, two moisturizing and three relaxing".
- Pay attention to keeping warm and sanitary
- Keep your abdomen warm, don't irritate the gastrointestinal tract, and minimize respiratory infections. Pay attention to hygiene, develop the habit of washing your hands before eating, and pay attention to the food is clean and fresh.
Indigestion Care
- 1. Eat less fried food
- Fried food is not easy to digest, it is easy to increase gastrointestinal burden, induce this disease, and it is also easy to cause problems such as obesity and hyperlipidemia, which is not healthy.
- 2. Eat less salted food
- Salted foods are mostly immersed in salt, which is harmful to the gastrointestinal function. Some salted foods also contain ingredients that can cause cancer.
- 3. Eat less cold stimulation food
- Irritating foods and cold foods have certain damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa. Frequent eating can cause gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases, and then induce indigestion.
- 4. Eat regularly
- Regular eating can make the gastrointestinal digestive fluid secretion form and help the digestion of food.
- 5 , regular meals
- It is very regular to eat on a weekday. Suddenly eating and drinking suddenly, the digestive juice secreted by the stomach is not enough, which will naturally cause indigestion.
- 6, food temperature should be just right
- Food is too cold or too hot, which can cause damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa. It is best to eat when the food is not hot or cold and warm.
- 7, chewing slowly
- The more you chew your food, the easier it is for the gastrointestinal tract to digest, and the lower the chance of indigestion.
- 8. Drinking water depends on time
- Drinking water after a meal will dilute the gastric juice and reduce the ability of the stomach to digest food. Therefore, it is best to drink water an hour before a meal.
- 9. Reasons for keeping warm and cold
- Cold stomach is prone to flatulence and impaired stomach function. In order to avoid indigestion problems, we must pay attention to keep the stomach warm.
Treatment of indigestion with traditional Chinese and western medicine
- 1. Use over-the-counter medicine
- Western medicine
- Power medicine: domperidone (modroline) 10 mg, 3 times a day, cisapride 5-10 mg, 3 times a day, 15-30 minutes before meals.
- Digestive enzymes: Daji (Compound Digestive Enzyme Capsules), Bi Te (Compound Arazimide Enteric-coated Tablets), Aspergillus Oryzae Pancreatin Tablets (Genesis), Dry Yeast, Pancreatin, Lactin Ming).
- Acid inhibitors: ranitidine 20 mg twice daily, omeprazole tablets 20 mg, orally half an hour before breakfast and dinner (effective for abdominal pain symptoms), etc.
- Others: Dimethicone (anti-bulking tablets).
- 2. Which medicine to take for indigestion
- Western medicine
- (1) Domperidone (also known as domperidone and Weidelin) can increase the tension and peristalsis of smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal tract, accelerate the rate of gastric emptying, allow the stomach to unblock, digest and promote food, and promote the excretion of food and intestinal gas, Eliminate various symptoms of indigestion. For indigestion, bloating, belching, nausea, and vomiting.
- (2) Lactinase (Table Feiming) is a dry preparation of live enterococcus. It can break down sugars in the intestine, generate lactic acid, increase the intestinal acidity, thereby inhibiting the growth and reproduction of spoilage bacteria, and prevent intestinal fermentation, reduce radon, promote digestion and stop diarrhea. For indigestion, bloating and diarrhea caused by eating disorders in children, green stools, etc.
- (3) Trypsin (also known as pancreatin, trypsin) can promote protein, starch and fat digestion in a neutral or weakly acidic environment. Can be used for indigestion, loss of appetite, and digestive disorders caused by liver and pancreatic diseases.
- (4) Supplement intestinal probiotics, generate a variety of digestive enzymes in the intestine, promote the synthesis and absorption of nutrients in the intestine, promote the normal peristalsis of the intestine, and eliminate a variety of indigestion symptoms such as abdominal distension, acid return, belching, bowel sounds .
- (5) Pepsin This product can decompose coagulated proteins with the participation of gastric acid, and is used for indigestion caused by diminished digestive function.
- (6) Multi-enzyme tablets are composed of trypsin and pepsin, which are used for indigestion and anorexia.
- (7) The compound digestive enzyme capsule can promote the decomposition of various plant cellulose, promote the digestion and absorption of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, promote the elimination of intestinal gases, and eliminate the feeling of fullness in the abdomen. At the same time, the pill containing three different colors can be localized and released to ensure that the activities of various enzymes are released at reasonable locations.
- Chinese patent medicine
- (1) Hawthorn, Liushenqu (fried), malt (fried), etc. For loss of appetite and indigestion.
- (2) Hawthorn (coke), Liushenqu (fried), Pinellia (sunburn), Poria, Chenpi, Forsythia, etc. Can digest food, lead stagnation, and stomach. It is used for stasis of food product, fullness of belching, swallowing rotten acid, careless diet.
- (3) Atractylodes lancea, Atractylodes macrocephala, lotus seeds (to remove the heart), barley kernels (fried), Amomum villosum, etc. Can strengthen the spleen, dampness, appetite and stagnation. For food loss, loss of appetite.
- (4) Baizhu (fried), Poria, Chenpi, Magnolia (ginger), Ji Shi (fried), Xiangfu (vinegar), hawthorn (fried), Liushenqu (fried) and so on. Can stomach and digestion, used for stagnant diet, indigestion.
Prevention of indigestion
- 1. Life should be regular, you should fall asleep regularly, do self-psychological conditioning, eliminate ideological concerns, pay attention to controlling emotions, and be broad-minded.
- 2. Quit smoking and alcohol and avoid irritating spicy foods and cold foods.
- 3 Go to the hospital and check to see if your stomach upset is caused by diabetes or hypothyroidism.
- 4 Develop good habits. Do not overeating, avoid eating food that is not easy to digest, and drinking various gas-producing beverages.
- 5. Choose safe, effective, and inexpensive drugs. In addition to the use of gastrointestinal transport drugs, such as morpholin, but also supplement digestive enzymes and drugs that promote bile secretion.
- Because bile is indispensable in the digestive process, it can also cooperate with digestive enzymes to play a good digestive role. In recent years, a new type of digestive enzyme preparation compound arizometide enteric-coated tablets not only contains trypsin, pancreatic lipase, pancreatic amylase, etc., but also contains arizometide that effectively promotes bile secretion and simethicone that eliminates abdominal flatulence. . After clinical observation, the total effective rate of the drug for 4 weeks reached more than 85% without any adverse reactions.
Indigestion health
Home Treatment for Indigestion
- Detect stomach acid
- Lack of stomach acid is the direct cause of indigestion. You can do a self-test of stomach acid. Take one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. If this causes the heartburn to disappear, then you need more hydrochloric acid (you can drink pure apple juice with water during the meal). If this makes the symptoms worse, it means that you have too much hydrochloric acid. Do not take enzymes containing hydrochloric acid.
- keep a balanced diet
- Keep a balanced diet and high in fiber, such as cereals such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole wheat. Need to chew slowly and not swallow.
- Avoid food
- Avoid refined sugars, breads, cakes, macaroni, dairy products, caffeine, orange fruits, tomatoes, green peppers, carbonated drinks, potato chips, junk food, fried food, spicy food, red meat, beans,
- Cola. Reduce salt intake. Processed food, junk food, and all dairy products can stimulate excessive secretion of mucous membranes, causing protein indigestion. Reduce the amount of peanuts, lentils and soybeans. They contain an enzyme inhibitor.
- Pay attention to food matching
- Protein and starch, vegetables and fruits are not a good match. Milk is best not used with three meals. The combination of sugar and protein or starch is not good for digestion.
- Dealing with flatulence
- The upper half of the digestive system can be used for pancreatic enzymes, and the lower half of the digestive system can be used for trace minerals. Antacids are not effective for exhaust and flatulence. When excessive gas is generated, a fresh lemon can be squeezed into juice and about 1.14 liters of warm water can be used as an enema to balance the pH in the body. If degassing continues for several days, you can use Bifidobacterium enema, which will resolve the problem within hours (see Chapter 8 of the next volume).
- Taking acidophilus
- Indigestion can also be improved with acidophilus bacteria, as the lack of these benign bacteria is the most common cause of indigestion. Take 10 capsules, or use a spoonful of powdered formula. Those who are allergic to milk crystals can switch to products that do not contain milk. Eosinophils are also quite safe enemas and rarely cause problems. You may feel slight discomfort, but it subsides after about an hour.
- Taking acid drinks
- Use a tablespoon of pure apple cider vinegar with a glass of water and sip it at dinner to help digestion. Drink a glass of lemonade before getting up in the morning, which has the effect of healing and clearing blood.
- take charcoal
- Charcoal tablets are effective at absorbing gas in the body, but they can interfere with drugs and nutrients. Do not take it for a long time.
- drink rice soup
- Rice soup and barley porridge are effective for problems such as flatulence, exhaustion and heartburn. Use 5 parts of water and 1 part of cereal (rice or barley) and boil for 10 minutes. Cover the pot and simmer for another 50 minutes. Filter and cool several times a day after cooling.
- exercise
- For example, fast walking and gymnastics are good for digestion.
- Fasting
- If your stool is foul and your anus is hot during bowel movements, a fasting plan can be implemented. (See Fasting in Chapter 8 of the next volume). This is usually a sign that the colon contains toxic substances.
- Supplement of nutrients
- High-fiber glucose mannose or ABc straight oxygen reactor body cleansing agent
- Add 1 tablespoon to juice or water. Take it in the morning and drink quickly to prevent the fibers from becoming hard. It cleans the colon and helps the formation of stool.
- Aloe Juice
- 1/4 cup, used on an empty stomach, one cup each in the morning and before bedtime. Good for heartburn and other digestive problems.
- Proteolytic enzyme or pancreatic enzyme plug
- Take 2 capsules with meals and 1 capsule with snacks. Improve exhaust and flatulence.
- Acidophilus
- Use half an hour before a meal. It is necessary for normal digestion. Use milk-free products.
- Garlic Capsule
- 2 capsules at meal time. Assists digestion and destroys harmful bacteria in the intestine.
- Vitamin B group
- 100 mg at meals. Vitamin B is necessary for normal digestion.
- Alfalfa
- Dosage is according to product instructions. Supplement vitamin x and trace minerals.
- Comprehensive digestive enzymes
- Take with meals. If you have scald burns or ulcers, avoid using products containing hydrochloric acid.
When indigestion occurs, the following should be done
- 1. Eating should be suspended and "hunger therapy" should be implemented.
- Fasting one or two meals, as appropriate. During fasting, you can drink fresh salt water according to your thirst, and add water and salt in time. You can also drink sugar + saline, because sugar can be quickly absorbed without increasing the gastrointestinal burden. If you don't need to fast completely, eat in small quantities, or just eat easily digestible porridge and add appetizers. This makes the gastrointestinal feel easy and comfortable, and indigestion is easy to correct. Eat less irritating foods, cold foods, and coffee, chocolate, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and acidic foods. Eat less and eat more, avoid smoking and alcohol.
- Second, the proper use of digestive aids should generally be applied under the guidance of a specialist. If it is an over-the-counter drug, it can be used according to the drug instructions.
- Commonly used drugs are phenanthroline, a gastric motility drug that can enhance food emptying from the stomach and reduce bloating. Aspergillus oryzae pancreatin tablets (genesis) can supplement digestive enzymes, promote food decomposition, and enhance absorption of nutrients; lactobacillus tablets can form a protective layer in the intestine, prevent the invasion of pathogenic bacteria and viruses, and promote gastric secretion. Enhance digestive function. Other traditional Chinese medicines that help digestion, such as Divine Comedy, Woody Fragrance, Hawthorn, Malt, Cereal Bud, Chenpi, etc. can be used as appropriate (water decoction)
- 3. Minor indigestion, or just fullness for a while, you can take a walk after meals, gently massage the abdomen, participate in sports or physical labor after 1-2 hours, increase the body's calorie consumption, and eliminate indigestion as soon as possible.
- Fourth, maintain a comfortable mood, chat with people in your spare time, will also reduce fatigue, reduce the mental stress caused by indigestion. Chat can relieve the moment of unhappiness, get rid of emotions such as excitement, anger, depression, doubt, etc .; it can also improve the patient's confidence to overcome the disease, it can be beneficial to the digestion and absorption of the stomach, and it can promote thinking and exercise the brain.
- After having indigestion symptoms, avoid eating foods that are difficult to digest such as fishy, greasy and seafood. It is also inappropriate to eat more desserts or ice cream. Must be based on light food, maintain 1-2 days to allow the gastrointestinal tract to remove indigestible food residues, so that digestive function recovery.
Indigestion should pay attention to diet
- 1. Eat less fried foods: Because this type of food is not easy to digest, it will increase the burden on the digestive tract. Eating more food will cause indigestion, increase blood lipids, and are not good for your health.
- 2. Eat less pickled foods: These foods contain more salt and some carcinogens, so you should not eat more.
- 3 Eat less cold foods irritating foods: Cold and irritating foods have a strong stimulating effect on the mucosa of the digestive tract, which can easily cause diarrhea or inflammation of the digestive tract.
- 4 Regular diet: Studies show that eating regularly and quantifying regularly can form a conditioned reflex, which helps the secretion of the digestive glands and is more conducive to digestion.
- 5. Timing and quantification: To ensure that each meal is moderate, 3 meals a day, at the specified time, whether you are hungry or not, you should take the initiative to avoid hunger or fullness.
- 6. Suitable temperature: The temperature of the diet should be "not hot or cold".
- 7. Chew slowly: to reduce gastrointestinal burden. The more you chew your food more often, the more saliva it secretes, which has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa.
- 8. Timing of drinking water: The best time to drink is to get up in the morning on an empty stomach and 1 hour before each meal. Drinking water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, and soup with rice will also affect the digestion of food.
- 9. Pay attention to cold protection: the cold of the stomach will damage the function of the stomach, so we must keep the stomach warm and not cold.
8 8 kinds of food to improve indigestion
- 1.Barley and barley malt
- Contains vitamins A, B, E and amylase, maltose, glucose, invertase, allantoin, proteolytic enzymes, fats and minerals. Allantoin in barley can promote the healing of gastrointestinal ulcers.
- Baby indigestion diet therapy
- 2. Yogurt
- In addition to containing all the nutrients of milk, yogurt is characterized by rich lactic acid, which can break down lactose in milk into lactic acid.
- For those who lack lactase in the gastrointestinal tract or drink fresh milk and are prone to diarrhea, drink yogurt. Lactic acid can inhibit the growth of mold in the body and prevent the imbalance of flora caused by the use of antibiotics. Lactic acid can also prevent the accumulation of toxic substances produced by spoilage bacteria to break down proteins, so it has an anti-cancer effect, and yogurt has a mild diarrhea effect, which can prevent constipation in the elderly.
- 3 apple
- Apple can stop diarrhea and laxative. The tannic acid and organic base contained therein have astringent effect, and the contained pectin can absorb toxins.
