Question
My daughter is four years old, and her spleen and stomach are not very good. No matter what she eats, she can’t absorb it, her digestive function is poor, she doesn’t like to eat, and she only weighs 22 pounds. How can I regulate her spleen and stomach?
Answer
Based on your description, the spleen and stomach are a result of one’s constitution. Dysfunction in the spleen and stomach leads to malnutrition, resulting in insufficient Qi and blood, pale complexion, and thinness. Some suggest exercising more, eating more vegetables and fruits, and avoiding fussy eating. It’s recommended to pay attention to diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. When necessary, it’s still important to undergo medical treatment under a doctor’s guidance. It’s best to take your child to the hospital for a detailed examination.
