Patient's question:
The gastroscopy results indicated chronic superficial gastritis with bile reflux. After taking medication for a period of time, the stomach pain subsided, but I always lost my appetite and didn't feel hungry. When I skipped meals for a long time, I couldn't tell whether it was hunger or a bloated pain. I was very averse to greasy food and felt nauseous. Could it be that I have anorexia?Doctor's answer:
Mainly, various psychological factors and poor dietary and lifestyle habits lead to the destruction of the gastric mucosal barrier (i.e., the protective layer). Bile acids, pancreatic juice, and duodenal fluid in the digestive tract also flow back into the stomach. Treatment suggestions include consuming Zangling Water Soluble Fiber, which can increase gastric acid and the impact of food on ulcerated areas to prevent pain caused by gastric ulcers. Daily diet should be based on lightness, avoiding spicy foods that can irritate the stomach. Eat less and more often. Gastric diseases cause significant interference to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light foods, hoping that gastric patients can receive professional treatment.
