For functional dyspepsia, dietary attentions include consuming easily digestible foods such as noodles, steamed buns, dumplings, and soft-cooked rice. Try to avoid hard or difficult-to-digest foods, such as bones, and avoid acidic, spicy foods, and alcohol. Consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. For medical treatment, medications that promote gastrointestinal motility and aid in digesting food can be taken, such as supplements containing gastric protease. Eating smaller, more frequent meals is advisable, avoiding excessive consumption of fish and meat. Daily protein intake should be around 50 grams to meet the body's needs.

Can indigestion cause rectal bleeding?

Indigestion does not cause bloody stools. Most cases of bloody stools are due to rupture of the gastrointestinal mucosa or damage to the walls of submucosal blood vessels. The primary symptoms of indigestion include decreased appetite, bloating, stomach pain, and acid reflux. Most instances of indigestion are caused by reduced gastric motility, and there are medications available that promote gastrointestinal motility and increase appetite. Additionally, it is recommended to eat a light and reasonable diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. Engaging in appropriate outdoor activities after meals can help increase gastrointestinal motility. Maintaining a good mood is also beneficial for improving symptoms of poor gastrointestinal function. (Note: The use of medications should be under the guidance of a doctor.)

How to relieve indigestion and nausea

If indigestion leads to vomiting, one can use the method of applying heat to the stomach to stop vomiting. If the effect is still not clear after the hot compress, consider muscle injection of "Weifu'an" to stop vomiting. Of course, this should be used under the guidance of an experienced doctor. Indigestion can also be accompanied by symptoms such as belching, acid reflux, and heartburn. Some patients may also experience diarrhea, constipation, or alternating occurrences of diarrhea and constipation. For the nausea caused by indigestion, sometimes traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as acupuncture at the Zusanli point can also be used, which has relatively definite efficacy.

What should I do about indigestion?

Indigestion is considered a gastrointestinal dysfunction, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views it as spleen and stomach weakness. TCM recommends using herbal medicines to adjust the spleen and stomach, as well as consuming foods that aid digestion, such as tomatoes, hawthorn, pumpkin, and Chinese yam. These foods help to generate fluids to quench thirst, moisten the intestines for bowel movement, and assist digestion. It is advisable to have a lighter diet, avoid spicy and greasy foods, engage in appropriate outdoor exercise to improve physical health, and eat meals at regular times and quantities to avoid overeating. It is important to protect the gastrointestinal system and enhance the stomach's digestive function in daily life. If symptoms do not improve after dietary adjustments, it is recommended to visit the gastroenterology department for a detailed examination.

What should I do if I have indigestion?

In real life, many people experience symptoms of indigestion after eating, especially those who have had their gallbladder removed or those who are bedridden due to trauma. How should this situation be handled? In clinical practice, medications can be used for treatment. In terms of medication selection, probiotics for the intestines can be utilized along with digestive enzymes. It is recommended to use medicinal probiotics rather than purchasing health supplements. Additionally, people who are bedridden for a long time may have insufficient gastrointestinal motility, so medications that enhance gastrointestinal motility, such as Itopride tablets, should be used. Medication is one aspect; diet also needs attention. It is important to consume easily digestible foods and adequately supplement dietary fiber, which means eating plenty of vegetables and easily digestible foods. (Please use medications under the guidance of a clinical doctor and based on specific conditions)
