Patients with bile reflux gastritis can eat some leafy and other vegetables such as baby rapeseed, spinach, bok choy, tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers. It is advisable to avoid eating vegetables with coarse fibers, such as celery, leeks, or chili peppers, as these can exacerbate digestive system disorders and lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and bloating. In cases of severe bile reflux gastritis, it is best to reduce the intake of fruits and vegetables. Consuming soft or liquid foods, such as millet porridge, is recommended.

Can bile reflux gastritis cause chest pain?

Once symptoms such as abdominal bloating, acid reflux, and belching are noticed and diagnosed as bile reflux gastritis, there could be chest pain which should be noted. This supposed chest pain is related to the esophagus; therefore, it occurs in the center of the chest, not on the sides. In such cases, symptomatic medical treatment can be applied. Typically, for bile reflux gastritis, proton pump inhibitors along with mucosal protectants and gastrointestinal prokinetic drugs can be used for treatment. Drugs that improve bile metabolism may also be used. Additionally, it's important to note in terms of diet, that chest pain is not necessarily caused entirely by reflux and other causes of chest pain should also be ruled out.

Can you eat meat with bile reflux gastritis?

Biliary reflux gastritis is often due to insufficient gastrointestinal motility, dysfunction of the pyloric canal, or post-cholecystectomy, among other causes.

Along with conventional medical treatment, it is crucial to pay attention to regular dietary and living habits. Regarding diet, the principle is to eat light and easily digestible food, such as soft, mushy rice, fresh vegetables, and fruits.

Can bile reflux gastritis heal itself?

Bile reflux gastritis is generally difficult to cure because it has multiple causes, such as gastric emptying disorders, dysfunction of the pyloric sphincter, and post-cholecystectomy patients, which can all lead to bile reflux gastritis. Many cases are related to gastric functional disorders. This condition often recurs and can be treated by suppressing stomach acid and increasing gastric motility, which tends to be effective. At the same time, diet and living habits are also very important. Eating small meals frequently and avoiding raw, cold, greasy, and spicy food can help with bile reflux gastritis.

Can people with bile reflux gastritis do heavy work?

Bile reflux gastritis is a disease of the digestive system. Avoid heavy physical labor as much as possible; engaging in strenuous physical activities can lead to stomach spasms, twitching, and increased contractions, and the bile reflux can irritate the esophageal mucosa. It is also important to rest regularly. When lying down, try to elevate the head to help alleviate the symptoms of reflux. Maintain a light diet; avoid overeating, and do not consume foods that are too greasy, too sweet, too sour, too spicy, or difficult to digest. Strictly abstain from alcohol.
