How should bile reflux gastritis be treated?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I went to the hospital for an endoscopy and was told I have bile reflux gastritis. But now I always feel a tightness in my back, but online doesn't mention this symptom. How is bile reflux gastritis treated?

Doctor's answer:

When suffering from reflux gastritis, it is generally advisable to avoid greasy foods. In traditional Chinese medicine, the diagnosis and treatment of bile reflux gastritis often involve imbalances in the endocrine system of the spleen and stomach, stagnation of water and fluids in the stomach, and concurrent liver qi stagnation. Based on this diagnosis, targeted treatment can yield relatively ideal results. Commonly recommended herbal formulas include Shugan Wan (Soothing Liver Pills) and Jiawei Xiaoyao Wan (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Pills).
In addition to treating gastritis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a joyful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
