Gastric ptosis is a condition characterized by a thin physique and laxity of the stomach wall and abdominal muscles, causing the stomach to shift downward. When standing, the lower edge of the stomach reaches the pelvic cavity, and the lowest point of the lesser curvature of the stomach drops below the line connecting the iliac crests. Dietary choices should include easily digestible, nutrient-rich foods, such as rice, wheat products, milk, fish, soy products, and fresh vegetables and fruits. Consume more foods that tonify the middle burner, boost qi, strengthen the spleen, and nourish the stomach, such as pork tripe, beef tripe, beef, Chinese yam, longan flesh, lotus seeds, red dates, black dates, hen, quail eggs, ginseng, astragalus, codonopsis, and cimicifuga, as well as other foods that serve both medicinal and dietary purposes. Avoid foods that are overly greasy, spicy, irritating, or coarse and hard to digest. Avoid smoking and alcohol. Do not consume excessive amounts of sweetened water with each meal to prevent placing an additional burden on the stomach.
