Dyspepsia is my favorite syndrome. Although not all therapists know its name, I'm sure you've treated many people who suffer from it.

I used to know that belching (meaning burping, as opposed to hiccups, which are something completely different) is caused by swallowing air, and then a patient came to me complaining of belching....

I am asked if there is a difference between treating Crohn's and treating ulcerative colitis. In terms of symptoms, Crohn's and colitis are similar to each other, but from my experience, both diseases

I want to write a few words about SIBO here because it is a diagnosis that is becoming increasingly common in the gastroenterology world and there are quite a few patients who come for treatment with it.

I want to share a patient case that, in my opinion, highlights something important that is sometimes missed in our treatments.

Today I want to write about the connection between flavors and our digestive system and how different flavors can be used to facilitate digestion. In Chinese medicine, each food (grains, legumes, vegetables, animal products, etc.) is divided according to its dominant flavor. The recommended flavor is determined by the person's medical diagnosis. Of course, there are different digestive problems (sensitive bowel, colitis, heartburn, etc.) and also different symptoms (diarrhea,

We are told that stress affects digestion, but is there a connection between certain emotions and symptoms? According to Chinese medicine, there are three emotions that are important to have in the body at a certain intensity, and when they are unbalanced, they may cause digestive problems: * Anger (also includes anger, frustration, resentment, resentment) * Fear * Worry or multiple thoughts. Anger, nerves, frustration, resentment, resentment - according to Chinese medici

The humid weather that is currently prevailing is causing all patients who already suffer from moisture in the digestive system (a feeling of incomplete emptying, mucus-filled stools, heaviness in the stomach and all the rest...

According to Chinese medicine, each taste has a specific direction - meaning that there are tastes that cause symptoms to go down and there are those that cause movement to the sides or up. I know it sounds strange, but the truth is, it makes sense that our diet would affect our symptoms. Some symptoms feel like something coming up: heartburn, nausea, or vomiting, and some symptoms feel like something stuck in the body - stomach pain, abdominal discomfort, or bloating. So

First of all, it is important to know that there are several types of constipation - there are cases of dry, hard stools that can be passed once every few days, and there are cases of several stools a day, when the feeling of constipation is actually the feeling of incomplete emptying that accompanies the person (whether it is a feeling that not all of the stool has come out or a feeling that there is a constant need to go out but there is no exit). From the perspective of

I'll bring up a somewhat controversial topic... I feel like sometimes we are actually our patients' bridge to Western medicine. Yesterday a patient came to me with colitis...

I want to write here about a study that is not only related to gastroenteritis (although it is also), but I think it is important for people to know about this study because its results are truly amazing.

Post-infectious IBS is a disruption of the digestive system caused by a stomach virus, bacteria or infection (spoiled food) spoiled/exposed to a stomach virus or

Anyone who has traveled to China may have seen that the Chinese (at least where I lived) walk around with glass drinking bottles with plants inside. Every time they finish the bottle, they add boiling water to the bottle, wait for it to cool a bit, and drink. In this way, they turn their drinking into a kind of ongoing therapy throughout the day. Herbal tea infusions that help with digestion and are soothing are: Chamomile - helps especially those who suffer from a feel

In my opinion, at least in the field of gastroenterology, it is enough to see a patient once a week (except in serious cases). On the other hand, it is important from my experience...

I have previously written here about constipation and ways to relieve it. Today I want to share with you some things that Hadas Gleischer, a pelvic floor physiotherapist I follow, wrote to me: "Many are unaware of this, but constipation is one of the "silent epidemics" that dramatically affects our pelvic floor. When we suffer from constipation, we tend to put increased pressure on the pelvic floor muscles during bowel movements. This repetitive pressure can cause muscle we

For many years I have been hearing recommendations from dietitians and naturopaths to relieve digestive problems. I see that the recommendations are very similar to those of Chinese medicine, but Chinese medicine has one emphasis that other treatment methods do not mention and which I think is very important: The temperature and method of preparing the food. According to Chinese theory, cold food/drinks (and I'll explain what that means) make it difficult for our digestive

I think it's important that we also get to know professions that are similar to ours and know in which cases they can provide a better solution than ours.

First of all, what is functional heartburn? Functional heartburn is heartburn that occurs without a clear cause (without acid rising into the esophagus as in normal heartburn).

A diet that is worth getting to know when treating sensitive bowels (the syndrome previously called irritable bowel syndrome) is the PODMAP diet.

In the spirit of Purim, I want to talk about two digestive system disorders that "disguise" each other - gastroparesis and dyspepsia.

I want to share a tip about taking herbs that helps me a lot in treating digestive problems.

I would like to share an herbal formula I learned from Dr. Liang, Director of the Gastro Department in Chengdu.

People with digestive problems - stomach pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and more - usually find it difficult to digest legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans). The dietary guidelines are usually to avoid legumes, but I see that in most cases it is possible to eat legumes in a certain amount. It depends on which legume and how it is prepared for easier digestion. So first of all, you should know that orange lentils are the easiest legume to digest and there is no need to soak th
