Why some stomach problems never go away even after medicine ? [Bahasa version in first comment] Last week, a close family member told me he has a “weak stomach”. He needs to go to the toilet a few times a day, often with loose stool. He also said taking medicine is useless, and it is probably due to ageing. I wasn’t fully convinced. Then I saw how he cooks and eats. 1. He eats a lot of overnight food. Many people think throwing unfinished food away is wasteful. I understand that. But food quality declines over time, even in the fridge. Poor storage or reheating can create problems. 2. Containers with mould growth. Some of his plastic containers had dark patches that would not go away even after washing or scratching. 3. Meat frozen for many months. Frozen food can be safe when handled properly, but very old food, repeated thawing, or poor storage may create issues. These habits may not always cause dramatic food poisoning. Sometimes they cause repeated low-grade irritation like bloating, loose stool, gas, urgency, poor appetite, or frequent toilet trips. Then people say: “It’s just ageing.” Not everything is ageing. Sometimes it is the fridge. Sometimes it is the container. Sometimes it is the habit. Important: If symptoms are persistent, worsening, involve pain, blood in stool, fever, weight loss, weakness, or dehydration, please seek proper medical advice immediately. But while seeing the doctor, also examine something many people overlook: Your food. Your storage. Your kitchen habits. Sometimes healing starts before the medicine. #StomachHealth #GutHealth #DigestiveHealth #FoodSafety #HealthyEating #FoodHygiene #WellnessTips #NutritionEducation #HealthAwareness #EatSmart #KitchenHygiene #DrTanWellness #FoodProfessor
