How to distinguish stomach heat and stomach cold, stomach heat and stomach cold symptoms

Gastric disease can be divided into two types: stomach cold and stomach heat. These two different types of stomach diseases have different symptoms and should be treated differently in terms of treatment and diet. You should not eat anything randomly. Eating the wrong food will not only have no benefit but also hurt your stomach. What is the difference between stomach heat and stomach cold?

1. Stomach heat

Being addicted to alcohol, spicy food, fried and hot food, etc., can cause stomach heat. The symptoms of stomach heat are burning sensation during stomach pain, often accompanied by bitter taste in the mouth, bad breath, thirst, dry throat, gum swelling and pain, short and dark urine, constipation, etc. People with stomach heat like cold drinks and cold food, which will make them feel comfortable after entering the stomach.

People with stomach heat should eat some cooling foods appropriately and stay away from fried, spicy and other irritating foods. Try to eat less warming foods, such as mutton, pepper, dog meat, etc. to avoid promoting stomach heat.

2. Stomach cold

Stomach cold is mostly caused by irregular diet, such as liking raw and cold food, irregular meals and other bad eating habits. Stomach cold is manifested as stomach pain and a feeling of coldness in the stomach. If the stomach is kept warm, the pain will be relieved.

People with cold stomach should try not to eat raw and cold food with cooling properties, as these foods are most likely to hurt the stomach, thus aggravating the symptoms of cold stomach. In daily diet, you can eat some food with warming properties that can warm the stomach, or add ginger slices, pepper and other condiments to your diet.
