Q. What exactly is Damjeok disease? Why doesn't it show up on standard medical tests?
Damjeok-byeong is a traditional Korean medicine term that refers to a condition where undigested waste products (dam-toxins) accumulate and solidify on the outer wall of the gastrointestinal tract. As it is primarily a functional issue of the gastrointestinal tract, it does not readily appear on endoscopy.
