I always feel congested after eating

Eating provides nutrition to our bodies. We should feel full after eating. And if we eat delicious food, it can be a very pleasant process. However, some people always feel blocked after eating. There are many reasons for this situation. Gastritis, acute gastritis, peptic ulcer, etc. can cause similar feelings. We need to know the main reasons. So, why do you always feel blocked after eating? Let’s take a look below.

It may be caused by gastritis, which is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa caused by various reasons and is one of the most common digestive system diseases. According to the urgency of clinical onset, gastritis can generally be divided into two types: acute and chronic gastritis; according to different causes, it can be divided into Helicobacter pylori-related gastritis, stress gastritis, autoimmune gastritis, etc. The pathological changes of gastritis caused by different causes are also different, usually including three processes: epithelial damage, mucosal inflammatory response and epithelial regeneration.

Acute gastritis can be divided into simple, erosive and hemorrhagic, corrosive, and suppurative gastritis according to its pathological changes. Chronic gastritis can be divided into three categories: non-atrophic, atrophic, and special types of gastritis according to its pathological changes. The diagnosis and differential diagnosis of various types of gastritis are mainly based on gastroscopy. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can choose some medicines with fewer side effects for treatment. For example, Baohe Pills or Lactobacillus Tablets.

It may be caused by peptic ulcer. Peptic ulcer mainly refers to chronic ulcer occurring in the stomach and duodenum. It is a common disease. There are various factors that lead to the formation of ulcers, among which the digestive effect of acidic gastric juice on the mucosa is the basic factor in the formation of ulcers, hence the name. Any part that comes into contact with acidic gastric juice, such as the lower esophagus, anastomosis after gastrointestinal anastomosis, jejunum, and Meckel's diverticulum with ectopic gastric mucosa. The vast majority of ulcers occur in the duodenum and stomach, so they are also called gastric and duodenal ulcers. You can go to the hospital for a gastroscopy to confirm the diagnosis and receive treatment under the doctor's advice.

It could also be an infection with Helicobacter pylori, Helicobacter pylori (Hp). It was first discovered by Barry J. Marshall and Robin Warren, for which they were awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. It is currently known that the incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection is closely related to socioeconomic level, population density, public health conditions and water supply. Helicobacter pylori infection is now mainly treated with anti-Helicobacter pylori drugs.

Currently, most scholars believe that "human-to-human" and "fecal-oral" transmission are the main modes and routes of transmission. It can also be transmitted through endoscopy, and Hp infection has an obvious clustering phenomenon within the family. Children whose parents are infected with Hp have a much higher chance of being infected than those from other families. Antibacterial treatment can be carried out, and this also requires targeted treatment after diagnosis.

It may also be stomach blockage caused by damp heat in the spleen and stomach. You can go to a Chinese medicine clinic and choose some symptomatic Chinese medicine for treatment.

You can choose some foods that aid digestion, such as hawthorn, orange, etc., and pay attention to proper exercise to enhance your body's immunity.

In daily life, you should pay attention to eating a light diet, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, keep your abdomen warm, feel good, and avoid overwork.
