What is the cause of gastric volvulus?

Patient's question:

My baby is feeling better now, sleeping is also better than before, but her buttocks are a bit red. A few days ago, I went to the children's hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was a stomach twist. Previous treatment and effectiveness: The doctor told me not to give the child any more intravenous fluids, and there was no need to take medicine, just rely on the right...

Doctor's answer:

Gastric volvulus is a congenital malformation that may be associated with jejunal malrotation, causing the gastrosplenic or gastrocolic ligaments to become loose and leading to poor gastric fixation. Most cases can be corrected spontaneously as the infant grows.
1. Eat less fried food: Because this type of food is not easily absorbed, it can increase digestive pressure. Overconsumption can lead to indigestion and raise blood lipid levels, which is unhealthy.
2. Eat less pickled food: These foods contain high levels of salt and certain carcinogens, so they should not be eaten excessively.
3. Eat less cold and irritating food: Extremely cold and highly irritating foods can strongly stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, easily causing nausea, vomiting, or gastrointestinal inflammation.
4. Eat on a regular schedule: Studies have shown that eating at regular times and in fixed quantities can establish a conditioned reflex, which is beneficial for the secretion of digestive glands and enhances absorption.
5. Eat in fixed quantities: It is important to maintain moderate portion sizes for each meal and to eat three meals daily at fixed times. Even if you are not hungry at the scheduled time, you should still eat to prevent overeating or hunger.
6. Appropriate temperature: The temperature of food should be "neither too hot nor too cold."
