People with bile reflux gastritis can eat a small amount of walnuts.

Those with bile reflux gastritis should avoid overly spicy and irritating foods, and should refrain from smoking, drinking alcohol, strong tea, coffee, high-fat and high-calorie foods to prevent relaxation of the pyloric sphincter, which can exacerbate the symptoms of bile reflux gastritis. It is also necessary to take medications that absorb bile, such as magnesium aluminum carbonate, aluminum magnesium suspension, etc., and to use medications that promote gastric motility and suppress gastric acid secretion for treatment. Medications that promote gastric motility may include mosapride, domperidone, itopride, etc.

(Use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician)

Can bile reflux gastritis cause diarrhea?

Bile reflux gastritis is mainly caused by the retrograde movement of bile, which enters the stomach through the pylorus, leading to a series of symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, acid reflux, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, and a bitter taste. This condition should not be directly related to diarrhea, but it is possible for patients with bile reflux gastritis to experience symptoms of diarrhea. This is more commonly seen in patients after gallbladder removal surgery. Due to the loss of the gallbladder's function to store bile, bile not only retrogrades into the stomach via the duodenum but can also directly enter the intestines, stimulating the intestinal mucosa and thus leading to symptoms of diarrhea.

What should be paid attention to for bile reflux gastritis?

Bile reflux gastritis is caused by factors such as abnormalities in the pyloric sphincter, gastric surgery, and gastrointestinal motility disorders, leading to the reflux of pancreatic juices, bile, and other contents from the duodenum, which causes damage to the gastric mucosa and leads to chronic gastritis. Its treatment primarily includes two aspects: medication and lifestyle adjustments. If the patient is infected with Helicobacter pylori, treatment with medication should first aim to eradicate Helicobacter pylori. Additionally, drugs that enhance gastrointestinal motility, gastric mucosal protectants, bile acid drugs, and acid-suppressing drugs can be used to treat bile reflux gastritis. Apart from medication, diet is also crucial. It is important to minimize consumption of unhealthy foods, diversify one's diet, focus on foods high in vitamins, avoid prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, maintain a positive mood, and ensure adequate sleep.

Can you eat raw peanuts with bile reflux gastritis?

It is not recommended to eat peanuts if you have bile reflux gastritis. Peanuts are high in protein and fat, and consuming them may increase the burden on the stomach, leading to bloating, stomach pain, and discomfort. They can also irritate the stomach lining, leading to increased gastric acid secretion and worsening stomach ailments. If you have bile reflux gastritis, you should usually use medications that protect the stomach lining to control the condition. In terms of diet, try to eat lightly and avoid overly greasy, indigestible foods, as well as spicy and irritant items, and it is best not to drink alcohol.
