Is Jianpi Wan effective for chronic gastroenteritis?
Disease description:
I am a patient with chronic gastroenteritis. Recently, my close friend recommended using Jian Pi Wan (Spleen-Strengthening Pills) to treat this condition. Is Jian Pi Wan effective for chronic gastroenteritis?
Jian Pi Wan can serve as an adjunctive treatment for chronic gastritis. Its main ingredients include stir-fried malt, Codonopsis root (Dang Shen), stir-fried hawthorn fruit, and dried tangerine peel, which collectively promote spleen health and improve appetite. Chronic gastritis is commonly caused by indigestion; therefore, in addition to medication, patients should adopt healthy lifestyle habits—such as eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding overeating or binge eating, and consuming predominantly light, easily digestible foods.
