Functional dyspepsia sometimes has a certain relationship with chronic cholecystitis. Patients with chronic cholecystitis generally experience upper abdominal pain after eating greasy food, accompanied by symptoms such as belching and abdominal distension. Functional dyspepsia can also exhibit similar symptoms, such as acid reflux, belching, and heartburn, indicating a certain connection between functional dyspepsia and chronic cholecystitis. Once a patient develops chronic cholecystitis, they can follow medical advice to use anti-inflammatory and gallbladder-benefitting tablets for treatment, or use Jin Dan tablets or gallstone relief tablets. Meanwhile, patients with indigestion can also consider using medications that regulate intestinal flora for treatment.

How to regulate indigestion caused by stomach acid?

Symptoms of excessive stomach acid and indigestion usually indicate insufficient gastric motility and hypersecretion of stomach acid. Many gastrointestinal diseases may present these symptoms, so it is advisable to first check with a gastroscopy and a test for Helicobacter pylori. Treatment should be targeted based on the results of the tests. At the same time, it is important to develop good living habits, ensure proper balance between work and rest, and have meals at regular times and in controlled amounts, or eat smaller, more frequent meals. Try to avoid extreme hunger or overeating, and excessive eating and drinking, while also quitting smoking and alcohol. The principle for diet is to consume light and easily digestible food, and to avoid raw, greasy, spicy, and irritating foods.

Does stomach cold easily lead to indigestion?

Patients with a cold stomach may experience poor digestion, and other symptoms of deficiency-cold such as diarrhea and abdominal bloating. They usually avoid eating very cold or very hard foods. It is recommended to eat foods like adzuki beans, red beans, coix seed, and jujube, which can effectively help expel the cold from the stomach and improve symptoms. Also, it is advisable to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables regularly, mainly to avoid stimulating, greasy, and raw cold foods, so as not to aggravate the condition.

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)

What should a baby eat if they have indigestion?

If the baby has indigestion, first of all, in terms of diet, provide light and easily digestible foods, such as rice porridge and noodles as complementary foods. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should eat a light diet and avoid greasy and spicy foods. If the baby is fed with cow's milk, try to dilute it a bit to aid in digestion. At the same time, they can eat more vegetables and fruits, which are relatively easy to digest. Some traditional Chinese medicines can also be given for regulation, such as Shenqu, Ji Nei Jin, hawthorn, and malt, all of which aid digestion. Additionally, intestinal probiotics can be added to regulate gastrointestinal function and an appropriate amount of zinc can be supplemented to increase appetite.

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.
