How to treat gastric mucosal damage?

The function of the stomach and intestines is one of the most important functions of the human body, because the stomach and intestines can digest food and provide the body with a steady supply of energy. However, gastrointestinal diseases can greatly damage people's health. There are many diseases of the gastrointestinal system, among which the gastric mucosa is one of the main sites of disease. Because the gastric mucosa is very thin, it has a strong reaction to the stimulation in food. Gastric mucosal damage is a common symptom. There are many causes of gastric mucosal damage, usually caused by inflammatory infection. Let’s take a look at how to treat gastric mucosal injury.

Direct treatment through medication or supplements. Health food using glutinous rice as raw material or effective ingredient. Glutinous rice contains amylase, invertase, allantoin, and protease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that glutinous rice has the effects of nourishing the stomach and digesting food, relieving chest tightness and removing accumulations, and relieving gas and stopping diarrhea. The urea capsules in glutinous rice can promote the healing of damaged gastric mucosa. Glutinous rice is selected as the raw material of health food that protects gastric mucosa because it contains alcohol-soluble gluten. The glutamine in it can stimulate the synthesis of muscle protein and glycogen in the human gastrointestinal tract, which can greatly improve the formation of gastric mucosa. It is a known natural protein that is effective in solving gastrointestinal diseases such as refractory gastritis and gastric ulcers, and has significant clinical effects.

Through food supplementation. Foods that protect the gastric mucosa. The stomach is more valuable by “nurturing” than by “curing” it. Appropriate diet content and good eating habits are important measures to prevent and treat gastric mucosal damage. Foods that strongly irritate the gastric mucosa should be limited, and diet should be used to reduce or increase gastric acid secretion and regulate gastric function. For patients with insufficient or absent gastric acid secretion, foods such as concentrated fish soup, chicken soup, mushroom soup, etc. containing nitrogen-rich extracts can be given to stimulate gastric acid secretion. Patients with excessive gastric acid secretion should avoid the above-mentioned thick soups, and use lean meat, fish, chicken that has been cooked and then the original soup is removed, as well as lotus root powder, light tea, various sweet cooked fruits, thick rice soup, rice porridge, etc. to reduce the secretion of gastric juice. They can also eat fresh milk, soy milk, and alkaline steamed bread to neutralize stomach acid. Porridge made from rice or millet has the function of regulating the gastrointestinal tract.
