Patient's question:
Sometimes I feel my stomach is especially nauseous. I feel like vomiting. After vomiting, there will be obvious red streaks in the phlegm. Usually, there are no other adverse reactions. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
This condition should be a symptom of gastritis. Gastritis refers to the inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Chronic gastritis develops over a long period, and most cases show no obvious symptoms or signs. Generally, only digestive disorders such as post-meal fullness, acid reflux, belching, and irregular abdominal pain are observed. Diagnosis primarily involves endoscopy and meticulous examination of gastric mucosal biopsies. This condition is common in adults, and many factors can irritate the stomach, such as improper diet, viral and bacterial infections, and drug irritation, all of which may cause this condition.Principles of dietary care and treatment:
① Efforts should be made to completely eliminate the causative factors. For example, to thoroughly treat chronic gastritis, avoid spicy, hard foods, and medications that irritate the stomach, as well as treat chronic infections in the oral and throat regions.
② Consume easily digestible, non-irritating foods, such as semi-liquid or low-fiber diets.
