Bile reflux gastritis is primarily due to significant partial gastrectomy or gastrojejunostomy, as well as pyloric dysfunction or chronic biliary diseases, including bacterial infections, especially Helicobacter pylori infection. Moreover, inflammation is caused by damage to the gastric mucosa from bile and gastric acid, which affects gastrointestinal motility. This leads to disordered coordinated movements of the gastrointestinal tract and disturbances in gastrointestinal motility, such as abnormal hormone levels and gastrointestinal neuropeptides. All these factors can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, which can result in bile reflux.

Bile reflux gastritis vomiting is good or bad?

Bile reflux gastritis presents symptoms of nausea and vomiting, which are concerning. Normally, it manifests as dry mouth, bitter taste, poor appetite, acid reflux, belching, nausea, and hiccupping. Severe cases may lead to vomiting or cause stomach pain and a burning sensation behind the chest, among other clinical symptoms. If vomiting occurs, symptomatic treatment should be adopted to control the condition. Medication should be taken regularly according to the prescribed treatment plan. Additionally, it is important to avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and to abstain from alcohol.

Will people with bile reflux gastritis lose weight?

The main symptoms of bile reflux gastritis include upper abdominal distension, belching, acid reflux, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, and indigestion. These symptoms can lead to a decrease in appetite and over time, can result in weight loss, making weight loss a potential concern for patients with bile reflux gastritis. The primary cause is related to poor gastric motility. Performing a gastroscopy and observing bile reflux into the stomach or bile stains on the stomach wall can lead to a diagnosis of bile reflux gastritis. Treatment primarily involves promoting gastric motility, repairing the gastric mucosa, and acid suppression to protect the stomach, typically requiring about six weeks of treatment. Regular physical activity is recommended as it can increase gastrointestinal motility and strengthen gastric motility, which can be beneficial for the improvement of the condition.

What are the symptoms of bile reflux gastritis?

Bile reflux gastritis is a type of chronic gastritis that is commonly seen in clinical settings. It is generally believed to be caused by bile reflux leading to inflammation of the stomach and discomfort. The symptoms of bile reflux gastritis typically include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and belching, among others, with abdominal pain being particularly common. The pain usually occurs in the upper abdomen, specifically above the navel, and is episodic, occurring less frequently at night. It is generally related to diet and tends to improve after eating. The common nature of the pain is usually a dull, bloating, or burning sensation. However, patients generally do not experience fever, anemia, emaciation, or weight loss. The treatment of bile reflux gastritis typically involves strengthening acid suppression and gastric protection, choosing some gastric protective and bile-antagonistic drugs. The treatment effectiveness is generally good and not overly concerning. (The use of drugs should be under the guidance of a doctor.)

What causes bile reflux gastritis?

Bile reflux gastritis is generally believed to be caused by bile reflux leading to inflammation in the stomach. It can cause abdominal discomfort in patients, where the discomfort typically presents as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. The abdominal pain is often in the upper abdomen, characteristically above the navel and typically episodic; it may improve after eating, with fasting pain being the most common. The pain is primarily in the upper abdomen, without accompanying radiating pain to the upper back, fever, etc. Nausea and vomiting are also fairly common, considered to be reactions of the digestive tract, and closely related to bile reflux. Regarding treatment, the main approaches include dietary adjustments and medication. Medications can include acid reducing, stomach protecting, and anti-bile reflux drugs. For diet, it is recommended that patients maintain a regular, bland diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
