The most common disease of the gastrointestinal tract is gastritis. Regardless of the type of disease, it is a very serious reason for active treatment, warning the ulcer or cancer. One of the most difficult cases is erosive reflux-gastritis.
The development of the disease begins with the fact that the gastric mucosa begins to swell as a result of a back-throwing into the stomach of the semi-digested food mass. Arisen on the site of swelling of the ulcer, swiftly expand and eventually destroy the tissues of the stomach. The exfoliated pieces come out together with vomiting. In this case, the cicatrizing ulcers lend the esophagus. At the beginning of the disease, if a person does not react to acidic eructations, bloating, constipation and diarrhea, the affected surface rapidly increases and the health deteriorates sharply.
Symptoms of erosive reflux gastritis
- Pain sensations that increase after eating, which can be permanent or paroxysmal.
- Heartburn or nausea associated with food intake.
- Vomiting food masses, with the possible release of mucus and gastric juice. In severe cases, you can notice small blood clots when you vomit.
- Liquid stool, in which there may be impurities of blood traces.
Sometimes obvious symptoms with erosive reflux gastritis are absent, which is typical for chronic course of the disease and for the inflammatory process the patient recognizes after the onset of internal bleeding.
Treatment of erosive reflux gastritis
Considering the erosive zones of bulbite, as otherwise called erosive gastritis, as an initial stage of the ulcer, its treatment is in many respects similar to the methods of therapy of peptic ulcer. The treatment of erosive reflux gastritis consists of several stages.
- Elimination of the causes of the disease. These include alcohol, smoking, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time.
- Normalization of acidity of gastric juice. To prevent further development of erosion zones, it is necessary to create conditions that protect the mucous membrane and limit the effect of aggressive gastric juice. If necessary, adjust the chemical composition of gastric juice with antacids and blockers. Such drugs reduce the strength of the action of gastric juice and to improve the secretory function are prescribed mezim or dystystal. To eliminate pain in the stomach, spasmodic medications are prescribed.
- Dietotherapy in the disease of erosive duodenal gastric reflux is to exclude first of all the use of foods that increase the production of gastric juice, as well as canned, spicy, bitter, irritatingly affecting the mucosa.
Basics of nutrition with erosive duodenal gastro reflux
Reflux gastritis of erosive form is accompanied by duodenitis, as is called inflammation of the mucous membrane of the duodenum, therefore the diet occupies an extremely important place in eliminating the causes and treatment of this serious disease. If a reduced secretory function is established, it is possible to include in the menu rich soups and broths, which are absolutely not acceptable at high acidity, as well as vegetable salads, fermented milk products. Increased acidity suggests that you do not need to use acidic juices and fruits with high acid content.
In the menu with the disease, erosive reflux gastritis can not contain products containing coarse fiber, dishes cooked by frying, as well as dishes of pork and lamb. To exclude the possibility of disturbances of peristalsis, it is necessary to exclude all actions that increase intra-abdominal pressure. These include various physical activities, especially after eating and rest after meals in a horizontal position.
