What Chinese patent medicine is best for spleen deficiency and loose stools?

The main symptom of loose stools due to spleen deficiency is unformed stools, which are like mud in a pond and are also called thin feces in the folks. Of course, this condition is very different from ordinary diarrhea, it is a long-term symptom, but the two may also appear alternately. So the question is, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, what kind of Chinese patent medicine should be taken for spleen deficiency and loose stools to have better effects?

Chinese medicine conditioning

This disease is more common in spleen deficiency. The spleen and stomach are the most important organs in the human body for transporting food and transforming qi and blood. Diet therapy is also indispensable for patients with spleen and stomach diseases, but the diet must be chosen according to the patient's usual constitution and condition, the so-called "differential diagnosis and treatment of food". If a person usually has a weak spleen and stomach, or has stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. due to cold syndrome, they should eat more spicy and hot foods such as onions, ginger, leeks, garlic, and pepper. If a person has a weak spleen and stomach, they should eat red dates, yam, lentils, water chestnuts, lotus seeds, etc. People with excessive stomach heat should eat pears, lotus roots, sugar cane, honey and other dry and cold foods that can produce body fluids. Patients with blocked qi should eat more radish, bergamot, kumquat, or seasonings made from tangerine peel.

Dietary management principles

Adjust your eating habits

—Three meals a day should be taken at regular times and in regular amounts. Do not catch a cold after meals. Eat more high-protein foods such as pasta, soy products, lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs, etc. to replenish the body's lost nutrients in time and maintain the body's metabolic balance. ◇Avoid fatty foods: People with long-term loose stools should avoid fatty foods, because fatty foods will increase the burden on the digestive tract, especially the lubricating laxative effect of oils will aggravate loose stools.

Eat more dehydrated foods

You should eat more dried vegetables and dehydrated foods that are easy to absorb water. You can also add a small amount of astringent foods to your food, such as black plums, oranges, pomegranates, radishes, lentils, oysters, mussels, etc., which all have the function of astringing the intestines and stopping diarrhea.

Eat enough

Adequate diet not only provides the body with necessary nutrients, but also acts as a carrier in the excretion of feces.

Add garlic, etc. to treat bacterial loose stools

If the loose stool is caused by bacteria, you can add some garlic to your diet, or add an appropriate amount of onions to the dishes, and try to use vinegar to cook. These methods can play a certain preventive and therapeutic role.
