What causes frequent acid reflux and bloating?

Acid reflux and bloating are indeed very uncomfortable. At this time, you should pay attention to whether it is physiological acid reflux or pathological acid reflux, such as chronic gastritis or duodenal ulcer disease, which may cause these adverse symptoms.

(1) Physiological pantothenic acid

When you are nervous, overly tired, or in a bad mood, the cerebral cortex will function abnormally and cannot properly regulate the nerves that secrete gastric acid, resulting in increased gastric acid secretion. Improper diet, such as foods that are too sweet, too salty, too spicy, too sour, too cold, or too hot can stimulate increased gastric acid secretion. Some whole grains, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. contain a lot of starch, sugar, acid, etc., which will stimulate the stomach to produce a lot of gastric acid. Moreover, foods that are difficult to digest will ferment the remaining sugar in the gastrointestinal tract, which can also induce pantothenic acid. In addition, certain drugs, such as aspirin, reserpine, and phenylbutazone, can also stimulate increased gastric acid secretion.

(2) Pathological pantothenic acid.

Chronic gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcers, etc. can increase gastric acid and often cause pantothenic acid.

It can be said that almost everyone will experience acid reflux. Most people believe that heartburn is just a little "heartburn" that will go away after a while and does not require much attention. But the Chinese Medicine Parlor reminds you that acid reflux may be an occasional phenomenon, but if this phenomenon lasts for a long time, it may become what is medically known as gastroesophageal reflux disease. Although this disease is curable, the prerequisite is that patients with this digestive tract disease must first pay attention to it.

(3) Gastroesophageal reflux disease refers to the flow of gastric acid in the wrong direction. That is, when the door between the esophagus and the stomach fails to close properly, gastric acid will reflux back into the esophagus. When people suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease, if it is not treated in time, it can develop into a chronic disease and cause more serious complications, such as ulcers, esophageal mucosal bleeding, esophageal narrowing, and even esophageal cancer.

(4) To prevent and treat heartburn , first of all, you should quit smoking and drinking, and do not eat too much at each meal, especially before going to bed; patients should eat small meals frequently and choose a suitable sleeping position; sleeping on an inclined bed (the bed foot on the head side is raised 15 cm to 20 cm) can greatly reduce the reflux of gastric contents at night; do not wear too tight underwear; patients with frequent attacks should not participate in heavy physical labor, etc. Once heartburn occurs, especially when gastric contents reflux into the mouth, you should immediately rinse your mouth with clean water and drink some boiled water to shorten the contact time between gastric acid and other strong corrosive agents and the esophagus as much as possible. Do this even if you are woken during the night by heartburn.
