What is reflux gastritis and what is gastric reflux

Traditional Chinese medicine has a prescription: gastroesophageal reflux.

"Gastric reflux" is when food in the stomach travels backwards and flows back into the esophagus. Once in a while, it is a normal instinctive response of the body. And if this happens more than once in a regular manner:

In traditional Chinese medicine, gastric reflux is caused by "stomach qi disharmony and qi reversal".

In Western medicine, it is poor digestion and upper gastrointestinal diseases that cause the symptoms of such diseases.

If there is frequent "gastric reflux", it means that the person's digestive system has a problem, and he needs to go to the hospital for formal examination and ......

Gastroesophageal reflux is the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus during relaxation of the lower esophageal dilator muscle. There are two types of gastroesophageal reflux: physiological reflux and pathological reflux.

Physiological reflux is caused by spontaneous relaxation of the lower esophageal dilator muscle, which facilitates the expulsion of gastric gas, and the esophagus will have a pushing peristalsis to advance gastric juice into the stomach without normally causing damage to the esophageal mucosa.

Pathologic reflux is gastroesophageal anti-reflux insufficiency caused by a variety of factors. Continued progression can lead to serious complications such as esophageal strictures, ulcers, and bleeding.

Reflux gastritis is the reflux of things from the intestines into the stomach, and there are many factors that contribute to the formation of reflux gastritis. The following factors are the most common influencing factors. Abnormalities in the structure and function of anti-reflux barriers.

Excessive pressure due to impaired relaxation of the cardia sphincter. These include achalasia, hiatal hernia after surgery, increased intra-abdominal pressure, and long-term increased intragastric pressure, such as gastric dilation, delayed gastric emptying, etc.

The four main symptoms of reflux gastritis. The four major symptoms of reflux gastritis are mainly manifested as epigastric pain and vomiting bile, which worsens after eating, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and vomiting out a pale yellow mixture; Poor effect of taking antacids; Epigastric pain can worsen after fasting; It is often associated with anemia. Therefore, if you find this series of symptoms, you should use Depu Changwei Tong tea as soon as possible to remove excess toxins in the stomach and intestines, regulate internally, and go to the "stomach" in one step.

Reflux refers to the regurgitation of duodenal fluid mixed in bile. Bile acid, pancreatic enzymes, and lecithinase in duodenal fluid can disrupt the gastric mucosal barrier, resulting in reflux gastritis.

Bile acid dissolves mucus in the stomach and destroys the mucosal surface; Bile activates lecithinase A. Causes lecithin to turn into lysolecithin and destroys cell membranes. When the alkaline duodenal fluid is neutralized with the acidic gastric juice and the pH value is close to neutral, pancreatic enzymes are activated, causing mucosal damage.

Bile reflux gastritis is common after most of the Bier's 2 gastrectomy, due to the pylorus being removed or its function is destroyed, it can cause duodenal contents to reflux into the stomach frequently, causing gastric mucosal inflammation, erosion, and even ulcer formation. Patients with gastric ulcers, patients with gallbladder, biliary tract and pancreatitis, and long-term smoking. People who are addicted to alcohol and eat high-fat meals are prone to pyloric dysfunction and bile reflux.

The main manifestations of reflux gastritis are belching, nausea, vomiting, bowel sounds, loss of appetite, weight loss, abdominal distension, heartburn and other symptoms. It is recommended that you choose a drug with acid suppression and stomach protection under the guidance of a doctor, and at the same time combine it with drugs that have comprehensive gastric acid, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and astringent muscle.

Many people don't know much about the causes of reflux gastritis. It is precisely because of this that many people do not pay attention to it and prevent it, which leads to its formation.

1. Gastric dysfunction: gastric emptying is delayed, reflux fluid stays in the stomach for a long time, pH increases, and aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria in the residual stomach are more likely to grow, and these bacteria can make bile salts free and cause gastric mucosal inflammation, resulting in symptoms. In this case, gastrointestinal prokinetic drugs such as Fastforce mosapride citrate can be taken to promote the emptying of the stomach and relieve the above symptoms.

2. Sequelae of surgery: After gastrectomy, the pyloric sphincter is removed, and the structure to prevent bile reflux is lost.

3. Helicobacter pylori: Helicobacter pylori infection causes gastric mucosal inflammation, reflux gastritis can coexist with HP infection, and both HP infection and bile reflux are related to mucosal damage, thereby affecting gastroduodenal motility and causing bile reflux.
