It is recommended to complete the gastroscopy first, to clarify the cause of wasting, do not ignore and take it lightly. Gastropathy can be broadly categorized into functional gastropathy and organic gastropathy, both of which may cause wasting and require gastroscopy to make a clear diagnosis. Functional gastropathy generally does not require medication, while most of the organic gastropathy requires medication or even surgery. For gastric disease caused by wasting symptoms, must not be taken lightly, must go to the regular hospital diagnosis and treatment, clear cause, and then regular and reasonable medication and dietary regulation. If it is simple gastric disease caused by wasting, it is recommended to drink porridge and other easily digested and absorbed food, you can also supplement protein powder or milk powder to increase nutrition.

If there is fullness and pain, it may be gastric ulcer, and if there is wasting, it may be cancerous, check gastroscopy to confirm the diagnosis, if the gastric ulcer is cancerous, then the first surgical treatment, if there is no cancerous lesion, then we should carefully suppress acid for 6-8 weeks, and check carbon 13 breath test to see if there is any Helicobacter pylori infection, and if there is any, then we should use tetracosan to treat H. pylori for 2 weeks. If there is H. pylori infection, then use quadruple therapy to treat H. pylori for 2 weeks. If there is no chronic gastritis after gastroscopy and only chronic gastritis, then add some digestive enzymes in addition to acid suppression for 2 to 4 weeks.
