Bile reflux causes chest pain when swallowing food

For some patients with stomach problems, they often experience chest pain when swallowing food. Especially when bile refluxes, chest pain may be more severe. Why does bile reflux gastritis cause chest pain? Today we will introduce the causes to you and also talk about the treatment methods for bile reflux so that you can reduce chest pain.

Some patients with superficial gastritis experience symptoms such as acid reflux, stomach pain, and indigestion. During gastroscopy, they may find some yellow-green bile-like mucus attached to their gastric mucosa, foam produced by the reflux of duodenal contents at the pyloric opening, diffuse red changes on the gastric mucosa, edema of the mucosal folds, contact bleeding, or accompanied by erosion and ulcers. This condition is often diagnosed as bile reflux gastritis.

Bile reflux gastritis refers to the reflux of duodenal contents containing bile, pancreatic juice, etc. into the stomach due to dysfunction of the pyloric sphincter at the lower outlet of the stomach, which corrodes and irritates the gastric mucosa, causing inflammation, erosion and bleeding. As the function of the gastric mucosa weakens, the protective barrier gradually disappears, and the ability to tolerate external stimuli gradually decreases, resulting in various chronic lesions of the gastric mucosa, with symptoms such as burning pain, heartburn, abdominal distension, vomiting and even gastric bleeding.

Bile acid can dissolve mucus in the stomach and destroy the mucosal surface; bile can activate phosphatidylcholine a. It converts lecithin into lysophosphatidylcholine and destroys the cell membrane. When the alkaline duodenal fluid is neutralized by the acidic gastric fluid and the pH value approaches neutral, pancreatic enzymes are activated, causing mucosal damage. Bile reflux gastritis is common after subtotal gastrectomy with Biliary II surgery. Because the pylorus is removed or its function is damaged, the contents of the duodenum can frequently reflux into the stomach, causing inflammation and erosion of the gastric mucosa, and even ulcer formation. Bile reflux can cause gastritis, which is called bile reflux gastritis. Gastritis is not scary, it can be cured by choosing the right treatment. It is recommended to take Shu-Xiao-Tea, which is developed by traditional Chinese medicine and specializes in treating various chronic gastritis and gastrointestinal diseases. It has good word-of-mouth recommendation and good effect. Friends in need can search it on the Internet. Bile reflux is actually the reflux of duodenal fluid mixed with bile. Bile acid, pancreatic enzymes and lecithinase in duodenal fluid can destroy the gastric mucosal barrier.

How can we completely get rid of bile reflux gastritis?

There is no panacea in the world, only suitable methods. The first step in treating bile reflux gastritis is to find out the cause and provide targeted treatment. To put it simply, bile reflux is the reflux of bile into the stomach, which stimulates the inflammation of the gastric mucosa. The reasons are as follows:

1. Indigestion and gastric reflux cause the contents of the duodenum accompanied by bile to reflux into the stomach.

2. The pyloric opening is relaxed, not closed tightly, and reflux of duodenal contents is caused by eating too much or changes in body position.

3. Excessive bile secretion caused by bile duct and gallbladder diseases, coupled with food stimulation, causes bile to overflow into the stomach.

Patients are reminded that before treatment, the cause of the disease should be determined based on symptoms, and targeted treatments should be taken accordingly: mucosal repair, promoting emptying, acupoint stimulation, dietary adjustment, psychological counseling, traditional Chinese medicine, etc. If you have not found the cause of bile reflux and the effective treatment, you can tell me the situation and I will help you analyze the appropriate conditioning method.
