Discussion: The intestines and stomach are the granaries, opening and closing at proper times. Dysentery occurs because the intestines and stomach lose their guard, the gates are not secure, due to mixing of water and grain, improper transformation and transportation, and failure of qi to consolidate. Alternatively, spring wind injury lingers, damaging the spleen. Spleen belongs to Earth and dislikes Wood. Connected by membranes, the spleen and stomach become weak, unable to transform water and grain, which pour into the intestines. The deficient intestines cannot contain them, causing diarrhea.
