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.

What is bile reflux gastritis?

Bile reflux gastritis refers to the chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa caused by the reflux of bile or pancreatic juice from the duodenum into the stomach, known as bile reflux gastritis. The main symptoms include upper abdominal bloating, belching, acid reflux, nausea, vomiting, etc. A diagnosis of bile reflux gastritis can be confirmed through a gastroscopy that shows bile reflux into the stomach or bile spots attached to the stomach wall. The treatment primarily involves acid suppression, protection of the stomach, and enhancement of gastric motility, with a typical course lasting about six weeks. Bile reflux gastritis is closely related to poor gastric motility; therefore, regular exercise is recommended as it can promote gastrointestinal motility and strengthen gastric motility, which can be beneficial in the treatment of bile reflux gastritis.

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.)

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.)
