Often people think that they have poisoned themselves when they have a vomiting that contains bile, or there is a weight in the epigastric region. If everything passes quickly and the symptom reminds of itself infrequently, the patients continue to live, as before, without drawing conclusions and changing their regime. Usually, such manifestations indicate a serious illness that requires immediate treatment.

Bile gastritis( biliary reflux gastritis) refers to the reverse entry of the contents of the duodenum or jejunum with an abundance of enzymes and bile in the stomach. The main cause of the disease is problems with the functioning of the bile excretory system. In this case there is an unsynchronized work of sphincters. As a consequence, in the process of digestion there is a malfunction and uneven distribution of pressure in the intestine and bile ducts. Further imbalance extends to the pancreas and stomach. The essence of the process boils down to the fact that food released into the duodenum to continue digestion, for some reason, returns back to the stomach, only together with an excess of enzymes of the pancreas and bile. Once again, the contents have an aggressive irritant effect on the gastric mucosa, since the lower acidity of the stomach is significantly reduced.

Often gallstones are associated with an inflammatory process in the duodenum. This is due to the fact that the normal rhythm of bile production has been disturbed, which is not only eliminated for the process of digesting food, but also outside it.
