Patient's question:
Patient: Male, 30 years old, overweight, often experiences nausea, and has bad breath. Other physical conditions are good.Current condition: In the first three days, he drank too much beer during the Spring Festival, and started feeling stomach discomfort at midnight. Today, he went to the local People's Hospital for an endoscopy, which revealed bile reflux gastritis. He was prescribed sodium rebamipide enteric-coated capsules (Jino), aluminum hydroxide magnesium tablets, and citrate of mosapride tablets. He feels slightly better, but still has pain and feels very hot, as if he has internal heat.
Can someone with bile reflux gastritis and internal heat eat things like pears? How many days will it take to recover from this condition with the prescribed medications? Are there any good dietary recommendations?
Doctor's answer:
Suffering from reflux gastritis generally means one should absolutely avoid greasy foods. For biliary reflux gastritis, the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) diagnosis and treatment involves identifying imbalances in the spleen and stomach's secretion and endocrine functions, as well as stagnant water and fluid in the stomach, often accompanied by liver qi stagnation. Based on this diagnosis, targeted treatment can be quite effective. Generally, Shugan Wan (Liver Soothing Pill) and Jiawei Xiaoyao Wan (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Pill) are recommended. In fact, having gastritis is not terrifying. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. If detected early and treated promptly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
