What is the best way to treat gastroptosis?

To a large extent, gastroptosis is caused by the patient's unreasonable diet, so the best way to completely cure this disease is diet therapy. Common methods include eating small meals frequently, chewing slowly, balanced nutrition, etc.

1. Eat small and frequent meals

Since the digestive function of patients with gastroptosis is weakened, too much food entering the stomach will inevitably be retained on the stomach surface and cause indigestion. Therefore, the first requirement of dietary regulation is to eat less each time, but the frequency can be increased, 4-6 meals a day is appropriate. In the meal category, the main meal should be less and the vegetables should be more. Those with better economic conditions can drink a glass of milk, a bowl of steamed egg drops, and eat a few biscuits every day as a supplement to the main meal.

2. Chew slowly

Patients with gastroptosis have reduced gastric wall tension and slow peristalsis. If they eat too fast, the food they eat will fill up the stomach. In addition, the process of chewing food in the mouth will reflexively stimulate the peristalsis of the stomach and enhance the tension of the stomach wall. Therefore, you should eat relatively slowly, chew food thoroughly to facilitate digestion and absorption, enhance gastric motility, promote emptying speed, and relieve abdominal distension and discomfort.

3. Food Delicacy

If the food is dry and hard or has a hard texture, such as steak, croquettes, peanuts, broad beans, etc., it will be difficult to digest in the stomach and may also damage the gastric mucosa and increase the incidence of gastritis. Therefore, the food you eat on a daily basis should be soft, light and easy to digest. The staple food should be soft rice. Noodles should be cooked thoroughly and soft, and less thick and hard raw noodles should be eaten. Side dishes should be chopped and fried, and less raw and cold vegetables should be eaten. But it should be noted that the fish should not be overcooked, because the fish is best when it is half-cooked.

Tender and easy to digest, with minimal burden on the stomach.

4. Balanced Nutrition

Most patients with gastroptosis have weak physical and muscle strength, and poor digestion and absorption, which easily lead to nutritional imbalance in the body. Therefore, they feel more tired and listless than normal people. Therefore, patients should pay attention to eating small meals frequently and strive to make their diet nutritionally balanced, with an appropriate ratio of the three major nutrients: sugar, fat, and protein. The fat ratio is relatively low.
