When suffering from bile reflux gastritis in its less severe form, one can occasionally eat grapes without causing significant impact on the digestive tract. However, it is important to avoid consuming too much at once, as this can irritate the esophageal mucosa and worsen the condition. With bile reflux gastritis, it is essential to control one's diet routinely. One should eat less raw and cold fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and irritating foods, overly greasy and indigestible foods, as well as fried and grilled items, and strictly abstain from alcohol.

Can you eat meat with bile reflux gastritis?

Biliary reflux gastritis is often due to insufficient gastrointestinal motility, dysfunction of the pyloric canal, or post-cholecystectomy, among other causes. It is considered a type of gastrointestinal dysfunction and is characterized by recurrent episodes. Along with conventional medical treatment, it is crucial to pay attention to regular dietary and living habits. Regarding diet, the principle is to eat light and easily digestible food, such as soft, mushy rice, fresh vegetables, and fruits. In terms of meat and fatty foods, which provide essential fats, proteins, amino acids, etc., these should be consumed in small quantities and not excessively. Additionally, during cooking, it is important to keep the food mild and avoid frying or spicy preparations.

Is it serious that bile reflux gastritis causes frequent hunger?

Bile reflux gastritis, which often manifests as frequent hunger, also needs attention because if not actively treated, it can lead to a worsening of the condition. Therefore, once a patient exhibits the aforementioned symptoms, it is necessary to treat the cause and symptoms accordingly. If there is an infection with Helicobacter pylori, it is necessary to use proton pump inhibitors along with antibiotics and gastric mucosal protectants to eradicate Helicobacter pylori. At the same time, it is necessary to use medications like aluminum hydroxide, sucralfate, and aluminum magnesium suspension to adsorb bile, and drugs such as domperidone to promote gastric motility. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

What medicine is used for bile reflux gastritis?

Bile reflux gastritis is often caused by the retrograde movement of bile from the duodenum into the stomach, leading to a series of symptoms. These can include upper abdominal pain, bloating, heartburn, and a bitter taste in the mouth. The fundamental cause of this condition is usually insufficient gastric motility or gastrointestinal motility. Regarding medication, the first choice generally includes acid-suppressing and pro-motility drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors combined with gastric motility drugs. Additionally, aluminum magnesium carbonate has the effect of neutralizing stomach acid and bile salts, which can help with bile reflux gastritis. At the same time, it is necessary to develop good dietary and living habits, and avoid excessive eating and drinking, as well as stimulants like tobacco and alcohol. (Specific medication use should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.)

What should I do if bile reflux gastritis recurs?

If bile reflux gastritis recurs, proactive treatment measures need to be taken. For instance, if it is caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, active treatment with triple or quadruple therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori is necessary. If the recurrence of bile reflux gastritis is due to stomach diseases, it is crucial to actively treat the primary disease. For example, if caused by a malignant tumor in the stomach, aggressive surgical treatments should be employed, followed by adjunctive therapies such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and comprehensive treatment measures including traditional Chinese medicine. If caused by peptic ulcers, it is necessary to actively inhibit gastric acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa, among other treatments.

Can bile reflux gastritis heal itself?

Bile reflux gastritis is generally difficult to cure because it has multiple causes, such as gastric emptying disorders, dysfunction of the pyloric sphincter, and post-cholecystectomy patients, which can all lead to bile reflux gastritis. Many cases are related to gastric functional disorders. This condition often recurs and can be treated by suppressing stomach acid and increasing gastric motility, which tends to be effective. At the same time, diet and living habits are also very important. Eating small meals frequently and avoiding raw, cold, greasy, and spicy food can help with bile reflux gastritis.
