Since dampness appears to be the problem then you definitely might want to keep away from dairy and "heavy" foods. Probiotics and fermented foood are good for you when you have the proper health conditions. I have met some people who have digestive issues without the dampness and do very well on Fermented foods and probiotics. Heals the gut.
TCM is not my strong point but the spices are definitely a very healing addition to your food. I also read of certain breathing exercises that increase the yang energy..and some have mentioned invoking the element of fire to relieve this.
Bitters are also good for the digestive system as well as broths and stocks with the added herbs. The broth has gelatin which soothes the lining of the digestive tract.
Did you actually go the doctor to get further insight?

<td colspan="1" rowspan="1" val[/IMG] Unfortunately the raw food idea is also another corruption.
The Chinese have recognised for a few thousand years now that raw food is more difficult to digest than cooked food.
The science is fairly simple - colder bonds equal stronger bonds (chemical bonds) which are harder to break than warm bonds as there is less energy in a cold bond so the energy required to add into the equation is much higher when food is cold.
Additionally, most human digestive and other enzymes operate best at the bodies' nominal temperature of 36.5 degrees and anything which reduces that temperature even locally reduces the actions of those enzymes exponentially.
Furthermore, the liver's role in carbohydrate metabolism is in storing excess glucose as glycogen and releasing it when glucose blood levels are lower.
Every cell in the human body participates in breaking down carbohydrates, simply because it is the most used and available source of bodily energy. [/TD]
