    There is no universal cure for digestive disorders. The core logic is to identify the triggers first and then make targeted adjustments. 90% of people take detours by eating probiotics and drinking stomach-nourishing porridge, but miss the key points. Last week, a young girl who works in Internet operations came to me. She worked overtime every day and ate takeout. She suffered from abdominal bloating and acid reflux for almost a month. She followed the trend and bought Internet celebrity probiotics for half a month, but it didn't help at all. When I asked, I found out that she had been staying up until two or three o'clock + eating heavy takeout for a month. She was a little anxious. It was not a problem of bacterial imbalance at all. She adjusted her schedule and added three meals to avoid spicy and cold foods, and most of it was relieved in a week.

    Oh, by the way, the first thing to do is not to find a supplement, but to stop the triggers that hurt the stomach. For example, have you been drinking iced coffee with iced milk tea recently? Have you slept less than 6 hours a day for half a month? Have you ever felt uncomfortable when eating mangoes or drinking fresh milk without paying attention? I have seen many people who are lactose intolerant. They always thought that they had a weak stomach and drank warm milk every day to "nourish their stomach". However, they ended up having diarrhea for more than half a month. After switching to lactose-free milk, they were cured in three days. I can't even laugh or cry when I talk about it.

    Many people drink plain porridge and eat vegetarian food whenever they get sick. In fact, it is completely unnecessary. Drinking too much porridge can lead to acid reflux. If you are vegetarian, you will not get enough protein and your gastrointestinal mucosa will be repaired slowly. Just remember a very simple principle: avoid eating uncomfortable things for a while, don’t touch your mobile phone while eating, and chew more than once. With such small details, many people stick to it for a week, and most of their bloating and hiccups disappear. There used to be a salesman who used to eat with clients every day. He would wolf down a meal in 10 minutes and always suffer from acid reflux. Later, even when accompanying clients, he would force himself to chew 20 times per mouthful, and he didn't do it again in less than half a month.

    As for the probiotics that everyone is most concerned about, there is actually no unified recommendation conclusion in the industry. Only for specific subtypes of diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome caused by antibiotics, probiotics of corresponding strains can have clear effects. If you buy any internet celebrity compound strain model, there is a high probability that the strain is not symptomatic and will not survive long in the intestines. It is simply a waste of money. If you really need to take supplements, you should either do a stool flora test first, or ask a gastroenterologist to prescribe the right medicine. Don’t follow the trend and buy high-selling models.

    Another trigger that many people don’t pay attention to is emotion. The intestines and stomach are well-known as “emotional organs.” If you are so anxious that you can’t sleep every day, or if you eat just after getting angry, it will definitely get angry. There was a little girl who was taking the postgraduate entrance examination. She suffered from repeated abdominal distension and constipation for 3 months. A gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed and everything was normal. Later, she went on a trip after the postgraduate entrance examination and she was fine without taking any medicine. You don’t need to engage in complicated emotional regulation. You can avoid most of the emotional gastrointestinal disorders by taking 10 minutes a day to go downstairs and walk twice, and don’t think about work or worry about things while eating.

    Anyway, to put it bluntly, this problem is caused by lifestyle. Don’t expect any magical prescription to make you feel better immediately. Observe your body’s reaction more, which is more reliable than following the trend and trying 10 folk remedies.
