Hello, I'm Dr. Zhang. In life, many people often have diarrhea. Occasional diarrhea is normal, but if it occurs frequently over a long period of time, it needs to be noticed. It could be that there is something wrong with the body.

First of all, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold are a common condition. This kind of person can't eat cold food, and when he eats, he is prone to diarrhea, and his stomach can't get cold. At the same time, it is also accompanied by cold hands and feet, cold pain in the lower abdomen and other phenomena. In this case, the focus of conditioning is on the maintenance of diarrhea.

Secondly, a weak spleen and stomach is not the same as a cold spleen and stomach. Such people are prone to want to go to the toilet as soon as they eat, especially after eating spicy and greasy food, which is not digested, and there are often undigested food residues in the stool. At the same time, it is also accompanied by fatigue, lack of energy, lazy speech and other phenomena. For this situation, the focus of conditioning is to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, astringency and diarrhea.

The third condition is spleen and kidney yang deficiency. Such people are prone to diarrhea at five or six o'clock in the morning, and they have to go to the toilet as soon as they get up. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called "five more diarrhea", which is mainly caused by the lack of yang qi in the spleen and kidney. At the same time, it will also be accompanied by cold hands and feet, soreness in the waist and knees, etc. In this case, the focus of conditioning is to warm and replenish the spleen and kidneys.

The last one is the situation where the liver qi multiplies the spleen. These people are prone to diarrhea when they are angry, nervous or anxious. This condition is mainly caused by excessive restraint of the spleen by the liver qi, and is accompanied by the distension and pain of the ribs in both flanks, the stomach growling, and the phenomenon of more farts. In this case, the focus of conditioning is to soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen.

Of course, these are just a few of the more common reasons. If you are unsure of your physical condition, it is recommended to consult a professional TCM physician in time. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to food hygiene and maintain good work and rest habits in daily life to prevent diarrhea.
