When suffering from bile reflux gastritis in its less severe form, one can occasionally eat grapes without causing significant impact on the digestive tract. However, it is important to avoid consuming too much at once, as this can irritate the esophageal mucosa and worsen the condition. With bile reflux gastritis, it is essential to control one's diet routinely. One should eat less raw and cold fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and irritating foods, overly greasy and indigestible foods, as well as fried and grilled items, and strictly abstain from alcohol.

Bile reflux gastritis is what?

Bile reflux gastritis is primarily due to significant partial gastrectomy or gastrojejunostomy, as well as pyloric dysfunction or chronic biliary diseases, including bacterial infections, especially Helicobacter pylori infection. Moreover, inflammation is caused by damage to the gastric mucosa from bile and gastric acid, which affects gastrointestinal motility. This leads to disordered coordinated movements of the gastrointestinal tract and disturbances in gastrointestinal motility, such as abnormal hormone levels and gastrointestinal neuropeptides. All these factors can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, which can result in bile reflux.

Does bile reflux gastritis cause stomach pain?

Bile reflux gastritis can cause stomach pain, often presenting as pain in the upper abdomen, typically as dull or distending pain which are most commonly seen in clinics. Bile reflux gastritis is generally considered a common disease, characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and nausea at onset. Diagnosis largely relies on gastroscopy, during which we can observe inflammatory changes in the gastric mucosa, with the mucosa appearing congested and swollen, and the gastric mucus appearing yellow, generally considered to be caused by bile reflux. The treatment for bile reflux gastritis typically consists of dietary adjustments and medications. Dietary recommendations include regular, bland meals, and avoiding intake of coffee, alcohol, and spicy or irritating foods. Medications may include acid reducers, gastroprotective agents, and anti-reflux drugs. A typical course of treatment lasts from 7 to 14 days. Of course, if a patient has severe symptoms or recurrent episodes, a minimal maintenance dose may be used to relieve symptoms. (Note: Medication should be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

Symptoms and Treatment of Bile Reflux Gastritis

The symptoms of bile reflux gastritis generally include abdominal pain, bloating, and nausea, among others, and are relatively common in clinical settings. Typically, the main manifestations are hidden abdominal pain, bloating pain, or even burning pain, which occur repeatedly over time. This condition is often seen in clinical practice and tends to have a prolonged course, generally not accompanied by fever or radiating pain in the lower back or right shoulder blade. A thorough gastroscopic examination in patients will clearly show congested and edematous mucosa in the stomach, and the mucus appears bile-stained, indicating that the inflammation of the stomach is likely caused by bile reflux. For treatment, attention should be paid to diet and medication. The dietary approach involves consuming easily digestible, bland food; medically, the use of acid-reducing and gastroprotective agents, as well as anti-bile reflux medications are recommended. Typically, a treatment course of about two weeks is sufficient for gaining substantial control of the condition. If the patient has other concomitant issues, proactive treatment is advised.
