The syndrome of retained food in children that fails to digest is caused by coldness in the Spleen and Stomach. Whenever infants or young children consume milk, food, or drink, if they take in excessive cold substances, the cold pathogen will injure the Spleen and Stomach. This is because the Stomach governs digestion, and the Spleen governs transformation and transportation.
