【1】Functional dyspepsia
No abnormalities can be found through blood tests, gastroscopy, etc.
【2】Organic dyspepsia
Indigestion with a clear cause can be found through inspection

- The bloating is often accompanied by hiccups.
3. Loss of appetite

- I feel full soon after eating, and the food eaten is significantly reduced.
4. Diarrhea

5. Mental symptoms

- The cause of the disease is mainly related to mental and psychological factors, such as mood swings, sleep status, poor rest, stimulation of tobacco and alcohol, etc.
How to improve indigestion?
1. Eat less fried food
2. Eat less pickled food-such as sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, salted fish, kimchi, etc.
3. Eat less raw and cold stimulating foods
4. Meals should be regular
Try to eat at the same time for three meals a day, so that our stomachs can “get used to” and work normally~
5. Meals should be quantitative
6. The food temperature should be just right
7. Chew and swallow slowly
Try to avoid eating in a hurry, it is easy to gobble it up and cause indigestion.
Try to eat slowly, chew each bite for 30 times before swallowing. Chewing slowly and swallowing can effectively help our intestines and stomach, and it is less prone to indigestion.
8. Drinking water depends on the time
It is recommended to drink a little water before or after a meal, or a small bowl of soup. Avoid drinking too much soup or drinking too much water after a meal.
9. Keeping warm and preventing cold
You can use an electric heater or hot water bottle to warm the stomach to keep warm and prevent cold. You can also apply sanfu paste during the dog days to treat gastrointestinal problems.
