Overview

When acid rises from the stomach and is swallowed immediately, it is called acid vomiting; when it is vomited out without being swallowed, it is called acid vomiting. Generally speaking, acid vomiting refers to the symptom of vomiting acid water. Mild cases are also called heartburn. It is often seen with stomach pain, but it can also occur alone. This disease is mostly caused by internal stagnation of liver fire and disharmony of stomach qi; it can also be caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness, which cannot transport and transform qi.

Causes of excessive stomach acid

Chronic gastritis: It is mainly caused by the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus, which irritates the esophageal mucosa and causes inflammation.

Gastric ulcer: Excessive gastric acid can cause the gastric mucosa to be digested and corroded by gastric acid, resulting in perforation of the stomach and intestines (which we often call gastrointestinal ulcer).

Reflux esophagitis: When gastric acid increases and the gastric mucosa is damaged, edema and bleeding will occur. Then, acid-related diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer, reflux esophagitis, etc. will occur, stomach health will be damaged, food digestion and absorption will be affected, and human health will be difficult to guarantee.

Duodenal ulcer: Excessive gastric acid will cause corrosive effects in the stomach, resulting in acid swallowing, nausea, and vomiting, and may even lead to serious consequences such as gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer, which cannot be ignored.

Disease treatment

Excessive gastric acid will cause corrosive effects in the stomach, resulting in acid swallowing, nausea, and vomiting, and may even lead to serious consequences such as gastric ulcers or duodenal ulcers, which cannot be ignored. The medical treatment is generally to take alkaline drugs, such as baking soda, but the neutralizing effect is only temporary, and soon gastric acid will be secreted excessively again.

According to the Materia Medica, black tea "can stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen and aid digestion", and has the effect of harmonizing and astringing excessive acid secretion. Green tea is very suitable for people with mild heartburn.

Milk is the most suitable food for this disease. It is better to eat rice porridge and wheat porridge together, which can indeed inhibit the production of acid water.
