Modern people suffer from functional gastrointestinal disorders, such as reflux esophagitis.

Let's learn about the causes and symptoms of reflux esophagitis, a chronic disease of modern people. I will introduce treatment methods and prevention tips to prevent recurrence. Finally, I will introduce foods that are good for reflux esophagitis.

These days, many office workers have numerous chronic illnesses. I couldn't avoid it either. The cause of reflux esophagitis is the weakening of the lower esophageal sphincter, which allows stomach acid to rise up the esophagus and cause reflux. Symptoms of reflux esophagitis vary and include burning sensation in the stomach, belching, a foreign body sensation in the throat, and regurgitation, which can be very painful.

What are the treatment options for reflux esophagitis? Since reflux esophagitis is primarily caused by stomach acid reflux, even if you visit a hospital and are prescribed medication to reduce stomach acid secretion, the effect is only temporary. Therefore, to prevent and avoid reflux esophagitis, lifestyle changes are necessary. It is advisable to quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and to avoid coffee and green tea containing caffeine. High-fat foods stimulate stomach acid secretion, so it is better to eat them in moderation. Additionally, avoiding lying down immediately after meals and improving abdominal obesity, which increases intra-abdominal pressure, can help prevent reflux esophagitis.

Finally, I will introduce seven foods that are good for acid reflux.

1 banana - An alkaline food that neutralizes stomach acid.

2. Ginger - It helps absorb stomach acid.

3. Ma - Contains mucin that protects the stomach wall.

4. Potatoes - An alkaline food that helps suppress stomach acid. It is better to steam or bake them rather than fry.

5. Aloe - Reduces the burden on the stomach, protects the stomach, and helps alleviate inflammation.

6. Broccoli - Contains Vitamin U, which protects the stomach lining.

7. Red cabbage - Rich in vitamin U, it helps regulate stomach acid secretion and prevents acid from rising into the esophagus. It is also abundant in vitamin K, which plays a role in quickly clotting esophageal bleeding.

I don't want to suffer from reflux esophagitis again after experiencing it once painfully. It may be difficult, but I hope that by consistently maintaining various lifestyle habits, those suffering from reflux esophagitis will find help. Also, please adopt healthy lifestyle habits, eat foods that are good for reflux esophagitis, and work hard to prevent it to lead a healthy life.
