Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but it started again. What are the treatment methods for bile reflux gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Bile reflux gastritis is caused by bile flowing back into the stomach, leading to changes in mucosal damage. It often presents with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, acid reflux, and belching. Dietary habits should be regular, avoiding raw, cold, spicy, fried, and pickled foods. Raw and cold foods, such as various cold drinks, raw vegetables, and fruits, carry coldness into the body and are most likely to harm the spleen and stomach. Additionally, meals should be evenly distributed—breakfast should be nutritious, lunch should be eaten until full, and dinner should be eaten until 70-80% full. The spleen and stomach are most afraid of being overfull, and skipping meals or overeating can cause the most harm, especially at dinner. It is important not to eat too much or too late at night, as both can increase the burden on the stomach.
