Question
I often have stomachaches and red rashes on my body. My appetite is also low, and I feel discomfort in my gastrointestinal tract. Each time I have a stomachache, there are only red rashes on my body, with no other symptoms. I want to know how to effectively treat gastrointestinal purpura?
Answer
The clinical manifestations include skin purpura, joint swelling, abdominal pain, and hematochezia, mainly blood in urine and proteinuria. These often occur within a month after the skin purpura appears. Some may also experience skin purpura and abdominal pain simultaneously, while others may only have asymptomatic urinary abnormalities. Foods that should not be consumed include beef, mutton, seafood, chicken meat, chicken eggs, fish eggs, leeks, chives, garlic, ginger, chili peppers, and strong irritants such as various spices like Sichuan pepper, star anise, fennel, etc.
