How to exercise and take care of reflux esophagitis.
If you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), you should eat small, frequent meals, consume more low-fat foods, quit smoking and drinking, not eat too much for dinner, and avoid lying down immediately after eating. It is important to adhere to medication and have regular check-ups. If you experience a burning sensation behind the breastbone, and symptoms such as black stools, persistent pain that cannot be relieved, etc., you should seek medical attention promptly. Specific examination methods and medication should be carried out according to the doctor's instructions. Additionally, you should consume easily digestible foods and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
Can people with bile reflux gastritis eat walnuts?
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 people with irritable bowel syndrome diarrhea eat steamed buns?
People with diarrhea due to irritable bowel syndrome can eat steamed buns because they need to avoid foods like milk, coffee, and soy milk, which can exacerbate diarrhea. Steamed buns do not cause diarrhea, so patients with irritable bowel syndrome can eat them normally, but they should not eat too much and should eat in moderation, avoiding overeating. At the same time, patients with irritable bowel syndrome should eat more easily digestible and light foods, avoid spicy and stimulating foods as well as greasy foods, and also avoid alcohol, strong tea, coffee, etc.
Can a colonoscopy detect colon and rectal cancer?
Colonoscopy can detect colon and rectal cancers. By conducting a colonoscopy, it can be determined whether a space-occupying lesion is in the colon or the rectum. In the workplace, it can also confirm the distance from the anus in centimeters, to guide the next steps of surgical treatment. If a colon or rectal tumor is found during colonoscopy, a pathological biopsy may be needed. Combined with the pathological biopsy, a diagnosis can be made whether the patient has colon cancer or rectal cancer. At the same time, colonoscopy can also detect other diseases, such as colon polyps, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease of the colon, and so on.
Why does irritable bowel syndrome cause back pain?
Generally speaking, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) itself does not cause back pain. However, patients with IBS often experience psychological stress, emotional anxiety, and insomnia, among other issues. Therefore, it is highly likely that back pain in these patients may be due to anxiety and insomnia, as a lack of restful sleep can lead to back pain. If a patient experiences back pain, it is advised to visit a hospital as soon as possible for comprehensive examinations to rule out the possibility of any organic diseases. Consideration of traditional Chinese medicine and herbal treatments can also be taken into account.
Is reflux esophagitis grade III serious?
Reflux esophagitis is generally classified into four grades according to the Los Angeles classification. Grade III indicates that the mucosal damage in the esophagus has merged, but it covers less than 75% of the esophageal circumference. Although grade III reflux esophagitis is not very severe, regular treatment is necessary. Treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor, and proton pump inhibitors may be considered to suppress gastric acid secretion and reduce the stimulation of gastric acid on the esophageal mucosa. Medications that protect the esophageal and gastric mucosa, such as aluminum magnesium carbonate and sucralfate, are also needed. In addition, medications that enhance esophageal and gastric motility, such as mosapride, can be taken. (Please consult a doctor before using any medication.)
What should I do if irritable bowel syndrome causes diarrhea immediately after eating?
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome experience diarrhea immediately after eating, and at this time, it is necessary to further perfect the electronic colonoscopy to exclude the possibility of organic intestinal diseases. If the possibility of organic intestinal diseases has been completely ruled out, it is possible to consider the discretionary use of bidirectional intestinal regulators for treatment, such as the use of trimebutine maleate. It is also necessary to use medications that regulate the intestinal flora for treatment. If necessary, anti-anxiety medications such as fluvoxamine and milnacipran can also be used for treatment. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
Do you need to take medication for a long time for irritable bowel syndrome?
Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) do not have organic diseases in their intestines. The main issue is that the threshold of their intestinal tract is relatively low, making it easy for accumulations to occur, which subsequently leads to IBS. Patients are often tense and anxious. Therefore, patients with this condition often need to take medication for a long time to achieve relatively effective symptom control. However, patients with IBS should not be overly nervous or anxious, as IBS does not lead to malignant intestinal changes or other organic intestinal diseases.
Can you eat garlic with proctitis?
Patients with proctitis can eat garlic, but they should also avoid consuming large amounts of garlic, as excessive garlic can easily irritate the rectum and exacerbate the inflammation. It is recommended that patients with proctitis eat foods that are easy to digest and non-irritating, such as white rice porridge and millet porridge. They should avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. It is also necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and to avoid strong tea and coffee as much as possible. Patients with proctitis can take oral medications to regulate the intestinal flora for treatment; the choice of specific medications should be based on the doctor's clinical experience.
Is a duodenal ulcer stage II severe?
Stage 2 duodenal ulcer is not considered severe as it indicates that the patient is in the healing phase; thus, it is generally not very serious. Typically, patients in stage 2 can be cured with appropriate medical treatment. The main causes of duodenal ulcers include infection by Helicobacter pylori and the use of certain drugs that irritate the gastric mucosa, such as corticosteroids, anti-rheumatic drugs, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If a patient with a duodenal ulcer is found to have a Helicobacter pylori infection, treatment involves a two-week quadruple therapy containing bismuth to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, while promptly discontinuing any drugs that are irritating to the gastric mucosa.
