Commentary states: The stomach receives grain, and the spleen transports and digests it. After treatment of cold damage (Shanghan) with sweating, emesis, or purgation, the zang-fu organs are all deficient, and qi and blood have not yet recovered. The spleen and stomach are weak and unable to decompose and transform food and drink; thus, retained food fails to digest. Its manifestations include vexatious heat resembling malaria, fullness and distension in the chest and heart, and belching with a sour and foul odor.
