Why Doesn't IBS Respond Well to Treatment? | Songdo IBS
Many people who visit my office often share experiences like this.<br/> <br/> <b style="">"I went to the hospital, and the doctor told me, 'It's nothing serious, you can go home.'"</b><br/> <br/> <b>"I went to the ENT and even had a nasal endoscopy, but they said there was nothing particularly wrong."</b><br/> <br/> <b>"I even had an MRI, but they said nothing showed up."</b><br/> <br/> From the doctor's perspective, hearing such accounts, it was likely their intention to reassure the patient. Or perhaps they truly explained that there were no problems because the tests showed no specific findings.<br/> <br/> However, patients often continue to feel uncomfortable.<br/> <br/> Nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, headaches, brain fog, a stiff neck, and even shoulder pain...<br/> <br/> <br/> It's a situation where the body is clearly sending distress signals, yet tests alone can't pinpoint the cause, leading to an inability to make a diagnosis or receive appropriate treatment.<br/> <br/> In many of these cases, the underlying cause is often <b>chronic rhinitis</b>.<br/> <br/> Though it's a common condition often dismissed as minor, it is actually one of the main factors significantly reducing quality of life.<br/> <br/> What's needed in such situations is a <b>functional medicine approach</b>.<br/> <br/> <br/> <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.naver.com/pureand/223403300803" class="se-link se-oglink-popup"> <div class="se-module se-module-oglink"> <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.naver.com/pureand/223403300803" class="se-oglink-url"> <span class="se-oglink-image-area"> <img src="https://search.pstatic.net/common/?src=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.naver.com%2Fpost%2Fdata%2F2024%2F04%2F02%2F24%2F%25EC%25B9%25A8%25EC%25A0%2595%25EB%25B9%2584%25EC%2597%25BC.jpg&type=b400" alt="" class="se-oglink-image" onerror="this.onerror=null; this.src='https://ssl.pstatic.net/static/blog/img/og_default_v2.png'"> </span> <span class="se-oglink-info-area"> <strong class="se-oglink-title">Chronic Rhinitis: Korean Medicine Clinic's Acu-rhinitis Treatment to Boost Nasal Immunity</strong> <span class="se-oglink-summary">Persistent nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing...

Constantly feeling nauseous and queasy? What to check before you dismiss it as just nerves | Incheon SIBO
특별히 뭘 잘못 먹은 것도 아닌데, 갑자기 속이 울렁거리고 메슥거리는 경험, 혹시 반복되고 있으신가요? <br>When this happens, we commonly say that we have 'indigestion'. <br>However, if the frequency is increasing and symptoms are worsening, making it difficult to dismiss it as simple indigestion, it's time to seriously consider your gastrointestinal health. <br><br> <h2><b>Chronic Indigestion: What Problems Might Be Occurring in Your Gastrointestinal Tract?</b></h2> <br> <p>When we experience indigestion, we often think of 'digestive enzymes.' However, digestive enzymes only play a role in breaking down nutrients and do not directly affect gastric juice secretion or gastrointestinal motility. Instead, it's more likely that indigestion occurs due to insufficient gastric juice secretion or a lack of stomach acid.</p> <br> <p>Furthermore, <b>decreased gastrointestinal function</b> can also be a cause of chronic indigestion. The gastrointestinal motility in our bodies performs various functions, including the secretion of gastric juice and stomach acid, as well as breaking down ingested food and moving it into the small intestine. However, if gastrointestinal function declines, these processes do not proceed smoothly, which can lead to various symptoms such as discomfort in the epigastric region, abdominal bloating, vomiting, and diarrhea.</p> <br> <p>In particular, chronic indigestion can also occur due to <b>nervous gastritis</b> or <b>stress-induced gastritis</b>. This happens when psychological factors directly affect gastrointestinal function; continuous stress can excessively stimulate stomach acid secretion or hinder gastrointestinal motility, leading to indigestion. Helicobacter pylori infection is also a major cause of chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers, and it's important to be aware that it can, rarely, appear as an early symptom of stomach cancer.</p> <br> <p>In conclusion, chronic indigestion can be more than just simple indigestion; it can be a sign of <b>various gastrointestinal diseases</b>. Therefore, if symptoms recur or worsen, it is crucial to seek professional help for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.</p> <br> <p>If you are curious about the symptoms you are experiencing or need professional help, click the link below to get a consultation.</p> <p><a href="링크 주소">Consult a Professional</a></p>
