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 should I do about bile reflux gastritis after gastric resection?Doctor's answer:
I'm very happy to be of service to you. Bile reflux gastritis is caused by the reflux of bile components into the stomach due to the incompetence of the pyloric sphincter around the lower esophageal sphincter after surgery. Early surgery for gastric cancer is only recommended if it is in the early stage, has not spread to distant areas, and the patient's physical condition permits. For more severe conditions, surgery is not advisable. In daily diet, avoid acidic, spicy, and sweet foods, and opt for light, high-nutrient options. If nausea or dry vomiting occurs, medications that protect the gastric mucosa and promote gastrointestinal motility can be used.
