What is chemical dyspepsia? What is steatorrhea?

Dyspepsia is the most common symptom of the digestive system and the most common disease seen in digestive clinics. Although many diseases can lead to the occurrence of dyspepsia symptoms, from the root cause, indigestion can be simply divided into two categories: one is dyspepsia caused by the slowing of the emptying of stomach contents due to decreased gastrointestinal motility, which we call mechanical dyspepsia.

The other type is indigestion caused by insufficient digestive enzymes secreted by various digestive glands or insufficient bile secreted by the liver, which we call chemical dyspepsia.

The ** of chemical dyspepsia is different, but the clinical manifestations and laboratory tests are the same, that is, the digestion and absorption of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and water, etc., often the most prominent fat digestion and malabsorption, called steatorrhea, can also have a variety of nutrients absorption disorders. The most prominent manifestations of the patient are abdominal distention, abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, excessive gas, undigested food debris in the stool, and steatorrhea. The importance of chemical digestion in digestion and absorption should be fully considered.

At present, we can choose to use a lot of drugs for dyspepsia, and it should be reminded that while the digestive aids are applied, we must pay attention to the indigestion, if it is caused by organic diseases, it should be targeted and carried out at the same time.

In recent years, digestive enzyme preparations have received more and more attention. Since only trypsin can fully digest the three major nutrients, it is necessary to choose compound enzyme preparations containing trypsin (including pancreatic amylase, trypsin, and pancreatic lipase) when choosing digestive enzyme preparations. In addition, the following points should be noted:

1) Choose products with high enzyme activity: The activity of enzymes in the preparation will directly affect the efficacy of the product, which is why we used many multi-enzyme tablets in the past to have poor results after oral administration. At the same time, the process of preparation is also very important, and the choice of enteric-coated tablets can ensure that pancreatic enzymes are not inactivated by gastric acid in the stomach, and the effect will be better.

2) Choose products that also promote bile secretion: Bile can help pancreatic lipase to digest fats thoroughly. The literature suggests that if bile is deficient, 40% of the fat in the food will not be digested, causing intractable steatorrhea and other symptoms of dyspepsia.

Therefore, choosing digestive enzyme preparations that also promote bile secretion will have better efficacy, and will be more economical and reasonable.

In recent years, a new compound digestive enzyme preparation (compound azinidemide enteric coating) has overcome the shortcomings that the current enzyme preparation can not quickly relieve symptoms and cannot promote bile secretion at the same time, which can not only comprehensively help the digestion and absorption of the three major nutrients, but also effectively promote the secretion of bile, so as to completely solve the problem of chemical indigestion. At the same time, the dimethicone oil contained in it can quickly relieve the symptoms of bloating.

While taking ** indigestion medication, patients should also pay attention to diet and mental health, such as providing sufficient calories and protein, supplementing enough vitamins, and paying attention to electrolyte balance.

Indigestion caused by insufficient bile secretion or deficiency of digestive enzymes is known as chemical dyspepsia. I had a lot of diarrhea for a while. Later, I went to the doctor, and the doctor said that I was caused by insufficient bile secretion, and prescribed me a few boxes of Secrete (compound azinamide enteric-coated tablets), and after eating it for a week or two, the symptoms of steatorrhea were slowly relieved, and I felt that the effect was not bad.

Chemical dyspepsia refers to a syndrome of dyspepsia caused by insufficient bile secretion or deficiency of digestive enzymes. Statorrhoea is one of them, mainly due to insufficient bile secretion, resulting in fatty substances cannot be completely digested; It is recommended to eat some secretion to improve, it can effectively promote bile secretion, and can also replenish digestive enzymes to improve your digestive condition.
