Recently, a netizen shared that his spleen and stomach were weak and cold, and his stomach still turned sour. He lost more than ten jin in a month. He felt bloated after eating a little every meal. He went to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and suggested that he often eat some baked Mantou slices. After eating for half a month, he did not expect it to have any effect. Now he does not feel sour, and a lot of things can be eaten.

Zhao Li, the attending physician of the Department of Preventive Medicine of Baoji Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shaanxi, introduced in an article published on the official account of the hospital in 2023 that baking Mantou slices is an ancient food therapy method. With flour as the main raw material, during the baking process, the molecular chain of starch in flour will break into "fragments", that is, become dextrin under the high temperature of 180-200 degrees. Easy to digest, it can neutralize stomach acid, protect the gastric mucosa and gastrointestinal tract.
