What medicine should be taken to treat digestive disorders

There is no specific medicine for digestive disorders that can be cured by just taking one. Clinically, symptomatic medicines are basically used as needed to relieve the current discomfort, and life management is always a higher priority than taking medicine. There is really no need to just take medicine from a jar if you feel uncomfortable at all. I just met a little girl who works in operations at an Internet company. She works on projects every day and eats takeout until two or three o'clock. When she gets nervous before reporting, she gets bloating and belching. Even after drinking half a cup of iced milk tea, she has acid reflux for most of the day. I have been taking Jianweixiaoshi tablets at home for almost two weeks, but they have no effect at all. I came here to check for pylorus, After a gastrointestinal endoscopy, everything was fine, and she was diagnosed with functional digestive disorder. She was prescribed Trimebutine with Bifidobacterium for two weeks, and asked her to replace the ice milk tea in the early morning with warm millet porridge. During the follow-up visit this week, she was told that she had less bloating, and she didn't get diarrhea easily after eating something cold.

Nowadays, many people have two extremes when it comes to medication for digestive disorders. They either rush to take several medicines for a small amount of flatulence, or they think that it is not an organic problem anyway, so they just have to deal with it. Both of these are actually wrong. If you occasionally feel bloated after eating too much, taking a walk and rubbing your stomach can relieve the pain. There is no need to take medicine. However, if the symptoms come back and forth for a week or two in a row and you feel uncomfortable eating something, either constipation or diarrhea, and there are no gastritis or ulcers after the examination, then taking some medicine to help the gastrointestinal "support" can prevent the symptoms from becoming more and more serious.

Which medicine to take actually depends on your symptoms. If the main symptoms are indigestion after eating, uncomfortable bloating, and always feeling like belching is stuck in the throat, just use something like Mosapride to stimulate gastric motility. If you have severe acid reflux and heartburn, take it temporarily. Omeprazole can also be suppressed quickly at one time, but it is not recommended to take it for a long time, especially acid-suppressing drugs. It is best not to take it continuously for more than two weeks, otherwise it will inhibit the normal secretion of gastric acid and disrupt the working rhythm of the gastrointestinal tract, making it worse the more you take it. If your intestinal symptoms are more obvious, such as abdominal pain when you are nervous, diarrhea when you eat something cold, or being unable to defecate for several days, then using trimebutine to regulate intestinal smooth muscle function will be more symptomatic. Combined with taking some active probiotics, it can help bring the disordered flora back on track. Many people will feel significant improvement after taking it for a week or two.

As for whether people can take Chinese patent medicines, which are often asked now, this is really controversial. I generally recommend syndrome differentiation. If you eat too much greasy food such as hot pot and barbecue, taking Baohe Pills and Jianweixiaoshi tablets for a day or two will really work, but if it is caused by long-term anxiety and irregular work and rest, It often causes functional disorders, and eating these is often not symptomatic. There are also many people who blindly buy Internet celebrity "intestine pills" and "laxative tea" to relieve constipation-type disorders. This is a big trap. The stimulating laxatives in them will slowly damage the autonomous peristalsis function of the intestines. In time, they will become more and more dependent on them, and the disorder will become more and more serious.

To be honest, I have come into contact with so many patients with digestive disorders. The medicines they take are mostly for emergency use. If you really want to adjust them thoroughly, you still have to focus on small things like eating and sleeping. Don’t take turns with heavy oils and spicy ice drinks, don’t sit still for eight or nine hours, and don’t stay up until one or two o’clock every day so that your stomach doesn’t even have time to rest. There used to be a salesman who used to socialize and drink every day. He would suffer from diarrhea every time he drank. He took several medicines and couldn't get rid of the problem. Later, he changed his job and didn't have to socialize. He walked around the neighborhood for half an hour every night. After half a year, he didn't even suffer from the stomach bloating that he often suffered from before.

Finally, I would like to remind you that if you do not get better after more than a month of self-conditioning and symptomatic medication, you must go for a comprehensive examination to rule out the possibility of organic disease. Don't hold on to it and delay things.
