What medicine should be taken to treat digestive disorders?

There is no universal magic medicine for digestive disorders. You must first understand the triggers and core symptoms before choosing. Blindly following the trend of taking probiotics and gastric medicines is often useless. I have been in the gastroenterology clinic for almost five years, and I have seen too many patients who took medicine blindly for two or three months but did not feel better after coming to adjust their medicines for a week or two.

Last month, there was a girl who works as an e-commerce operator. She watched the 618 sale for three weeks in a row. She stayed up until two or three o'clock every day, holding on to iced coffee. After eating something cold, she felt bloated and suffered from diarrhea. She searched for a guide and bought internet celebrity probiotics. After taking it for almost half a month, she didn't get better at all. Come here and do it. The examination ruled out organic problems, which were functional indigestion and mild irritable bowel syndrome caused by a long-term disordered work schedule. She was prescribed trimebutine for two weeks with a small amount of compound digestive enzymes. She was told to change the iced coffee to warm and try to go to bed before 12 o'clock. She came for a follow-up visit last week and said she was almost better.

When many people hear about digestive disorders, their first reaction is to supplement with probiotics. In fact, there is still a lot of controversy in the academic community about the scope of application of probiotics. Only when it is clear that digestive abnormalities are caused by bacterial flora disorder caused by abuse of antibiotics and intestinal infections, supplementing with probiotics of corresponding strains Only if you have a clear effect, if you have a disorder caused by staying up late, being stressed, and eating and drinking too much, just supplementing with probiotics is equivalent to the swimming pool's circulatory system being broken. If you keep pouring water purifiers in, it will not solve the root problem at all, but may disrupt the original balance of the bacterial flora.

If you usually suffer from acid reflux, belching, feeling full after just two mouthfuls, and food always seems to be stuck in your throat, then use some gastric motility-stimulating drugs such as Mosapride to help move your intestines and stomach, and the feeling of blockage and bloating will be relieved quickly.； If your stomach hurts when you are nervous or when you eat something cold and you have to run to the toilet and just have a bowel movement, it is usually irritable bowel syndrome. Medications that regulate gastrointestinal smooth muscle such as pinaverium bromide and trimebutine are more symptomatic. Do not take antidiarrheal drugs blindly. ； If you feel bloated every time after eating greasy food such as hot pot and barbecue, and your mouth still smells of bitter water and food residue, just add some digestive enzymes or compound azinamide. It is equivalent to finding a helper for your intestines and stomach to help break down indigestible fats and proteins. The burden will be reduced and you will naturally feel better.

There are also many people who prefer to use Chinese patent medicines for conditioning. There is indeed a lot of clinical data showing that Chinese patent medicines such as Xiangsha Liujun Pills and Shenling Baizhu Powder, which warm and neutralize the stomach, have good effects on chronic digestive disorders that have long-term weak spleen and stomach and diarrhea after eating something cold. However, It should be noted here that Chinese patent medicines must be used based on syndrome differentiation. If you are prone to dry mouth, bad breath, constipation and internal heat, taking such warm medicine will only add fuel to the fire. It is best to consult a regular Chinese medicine doctor before using it. Don't buy blindly by reading the instructions.

Not long ago, there was a young man who was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. He ate takeout heavy in oil and salt every day for four months before the examination. He was so stressed that he had a stomachache as soon as he finished eating and had to go to the toilet. The colonoscopy was normal. I didn't prescribe him too many medicines. I just said that when he felt uncomfortable, he took a tablet of pinaverium bromide and some oryzanol to regulate his mood. When he was tired from studying, he went downstairs and walked for 10 minutes every day. Later, he came over for a review after the postgraduate entrance examination and said that he was almost better without taking any medicine. In fact, to put it bluntly, digestive disorders are mostly "lifestyle diseases", and medicines are just a buffer to help you get through the uncomfortable stage. If you always stay up late, eat takeout every day, and bear huge pressure every day, you will easily relapse no matter how much medicine you take. This is the core reason why many people stop taking medicine and suffer from the disease.
