    First of all, it must be said that there is no "best" medicine for digestive disorders. All medicines are tailored to your specific symptoms. No one can cure all types of disorders by taking a certain medicine.

    Last week, I went to the community hospital with my best friend who stayed up all night to catch up on projects. During that time, she was eating cold takeout and iced coffee every day. She was bloated and rubbed her stomach after just two mouthfuls. She also had acid regurgitation and belching from time to time. She had a pylorus check and a color ultrasound, but there were no problems. It was a typical gastrointestinal dysmotility disorder. The doctor prescribed domperidone with compound digestive enzymes. She took it for three days, and the bloating was almost gone.

    If your symptoms are the opposite of hers, such as bowel rumbling and stomach pain when you are nervous or eating spicy food, and you can just run to the toilet and have a bowel movement, this is an irritable bowel disorder, and taking prokinetic drugs will make bowel cramps worse. Generally, antispasmodic drugs such as pinaverium bromide are used to relieve intestinal spasms. If you have constipation, just add a probiotic of the corresponding strain to adjust the flora; if you have constipation disorder where you can't pass stool for several days and your stomach is bloated and hard, you can also add some mild laxatives under the guidance of a doctor. Don't take strong laxatives by yourself, as it is easy to become dependent.

    Nowadays, many people think that probiotics are a panacea for treating disorders. In fact, there are always different opinions in the industry. Many studies have confirmed that only specific strains are effective for specific symptoms. If you just buy probiotics from Internet celebrities that are praised online, you may not have the right strain for your symptoms, and eating several bottles will not have any effect. There are also many people who take omeprazole when they have a stomachache or bloating. If you do not have symptoms of excessive gastric acid such as acid reflux and heartburn, random acid suppression will reduce the digestion capacity of gastric juice and slow down recovery. This is something you really need to pay attention to.

    In fact, the gastrointestinal tract is like a small stone mill that keeps spinning. Sometimes it spins too slowly and gets clogged, so a "boost force" needs to be added. Sometimes the "ingredients" in the grindstone are out of proportion (bacteria imbalance), so you need to add the right probiotics. Sometimes the grindstone itself is too sensitive and shakes violently when it touches something hard or cold, so you have to "stabilize it" first. There is no one-size-fits-all panacea.

    Really don’t rely too much on medicine. I used to know a girl in the gastroenterology patient group. She used to suffer from diarrhea when she ate cold food. She always relied on montmorillonite powder for emergency relief. Later, she forced herself to switch from iced milk tea to warm food, eat three meals on time, and no longer take heavy snacks to support her stomach and intestines at night. Now she has not had this problem for more than half a year, and all the medicine she stocked up before has accumulated dust. If your disorder lasts for more than two weeks and you don't feel better after taking medicine, don't try to force yourself to do it. Just go to the hospital to check if there are any other organic problems.
