Today's first issue of "Cooking for You" received an application from Ms. Li, who has been plagued by bloating and belching for many years, and see what the doctor says.
Reader's complaint:
Ms. Li: 35 years old, from Qingdao, now living in Guangzhou.
Main complaint: Repeated bloating and stomach bloating after caesarean section 3 years ago. Consciously "the stomach always has bubbles, like blisters", often belching, burping, exhausting, and pantothenic acid water. Eating more seafood such as shrimp and crab will be aggravated.
Appetite: general; often bitter mouth, sour mouth.
Stool: 1 time a day, but feels not clean; hemorrhoid surgery but no improvement in symptoms. When I returned to Qingdao, the stool improved significantly.
Sleep: Generally, because of taking care of children, it is easy to wake up, and when you wake up, you can fall asleep again.
Menstruation: normal.
Other: there is a foreign body sensation in the throat, and it often feels that there is a gas rushing up the throat; it is easy to have low back pain after exertion.
Past history: chronic superficial gastritis.
Tongue: Dark red tongue, red tip, tooth marks on the edge of the tongue, white and thick roots in the moss.
TCM Analysis:
Ms. Li's condition is typical of spleen deficiency and stagnation. Just like the traffic congestion at the intersection, the traffic flow is too large, and the local driving is slow, and there will be symptoms of stomach bloating and bloating.
(1) Belching, hiccups, and exhaust are all manifestations of physical self-help, just like the traffic police come, in the intersection of the same evacuation, the symptoms of swelling have improved.
(2) Shrimp and crab and other seafood are high-protein foods, which are not easy to digest, which will aggravate congestion and aggravate symptoms.
(3) Traffic congestion for a long time, exhaust gas gathering is not dispersed, in people will be manifested as bitter mouth, mouth acid, and even cause throat discomfort;
(4) Although Qingdao is also a coastal city, the humidity is not as good as Guangzhou, and the spleen and stomach are slightly better, so the symptoms can be alleviated.
Therefore, the key to Ms. Li's living and eating is to strengthen the spleen, rationalize the qi, and reduce dampness. How to adjust specifically, please continue to pay attention to the content of the "Daily Meal" column tomorrow.
Today, I recommend a soup that is suitable for Ms. Li, and is also suitable for the majority of people with spleen deficiency and stagnation and wet sleepiness.
