위내시경 하면서 발견하셨군요 ㅎㄷㄷ... 괄약근이랑 관련이 있는줄은 처음알았네요.. 양배추 꼬박꼬박 저도 챙겨먹어야겠어요
I realized that early response to reflux esophagitis is important.
I discovered gastroesophageal reflux disease during an upper endoscopy.
Inflammation should not be taken lightly, as it can cause serious problems, so appropriate treatment should be administered when it is detected.
Like all illnesses, early response is very important.
Actually, at first, it was mild, so I just thought of it as something easy; I didn't think I needed to take medication.
However, it wasn't something I could see so easily, but that's how it was.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when small amounts of stomach contents reflux into the esophagus, and the repeated reflux process causes damage to the esophageal mucosa, leading to inflammation.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease can be managed with health care when symptoms are mild, but if it worsens, the sphincter weakens and the condition becomes more severe.
It's a disease that can be easily cured if possible, but I forgot that the timing of treatment varies depending on whether it is managed or not.
So, I usually enjoyed drinking alcohol and coffee as part of my regular habits.
People often say that drinking alcohol and coffee are not good for stomach health, but since I continued my usual eating habits despite feeling unwell, I can't expect to get better.
If I had managed it properly at the beginning, I wouldn't have taken medication, and I regret it too late.
Ultimately, poor eating habits became the main factor in worsening acid reflux, causing severe heartburn that wouldn't subside.
I went to the hospital and had an endoscopy, and my reflux esophagitis worsened, so I was told I need to take medication.
I was too complacent because reflux esophagitis can also be caused by poor eating habits.
As a result, I had to take medication for about a month. I was shocked to hear that if it had worsened, it could have become chronic or developed into an ulcer.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease should never be taken lightly; it requires early treatment through appropriate medication, lifestyle changes, and dietary improvements.
I learned this time that reflux esophagitis, which can be easily cured if treated properly early on, can worsen if left untreated.
Like all illnesses, I believe that early response is important.
So, to manage it regularly, I make sure to take supplements that are good for the stomach.
Cabbage is good for stomach health, so I try to prepare and eat it sliced with every meal.
