One of the important parts of the stomach is the doorkeeper, which prevents the casting of the contents of the duodenum into it. Violation of the work of this muscular sphincter provokes reflux gastritis - the symptoms and treatment of pathology are strictly individual, depend on the underlying cause of the development of the disease, its form, the presence of concomitant diseases of the digestive and motor system.
Symptoms of reflux gastritis
At first, signs of pathology are poorly expressed or completely absent, because of which the patient for a long time does not know about the progression of the disease. In the future, such clinical manifestations are noted:
- feeling of heaviness, overcrowding in the stomach and intestines, which occurs very often, especially immediately after eating;
- sores, wounds with crusts in the corners of the mouth, lips;
- severe loss of body weight;
- disorders of stool of different nature, successive constipation and diarrhea;
- eructation , after which a bitter taste remains in the mouth;
- aching dull pain in the abdomen, in the region of the stomach and pancreas.
The diagnosis is made after the results of blood tests, ultrasound and X-ray studies of the liver, pancreas, gall bladder and stomach.
Drug treatment for reflux gastritis
Therapy is complex, because the described disease has a chronic character.
First of all, drugs are prescribed to reduce the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach:
- Contralo;
- Nexium;
- Parries.
Normalization of the movement of digestible food in the gastrointestinal tract is achieved by using prokinetics:
- Motilium;
- Cisapride.
To neutralize the negative impact of bile acids, as a rule, Ursoliv is used.
It is useful to take prebiotics based on lactulose and drugs containing lacto- and bifidobacteria. They not only improve digestion, but also restore the balance of microflora in the intestine.
Perhaps the most important and effective method of treating reflux gastritis is a special gentle diet. It involves a complete rejection of alcohol, as well as the exclusion from the diet of such dishes:
- sharp:
- salted;
- fried;
- spicy;
- fatty;
- canned.
All consumed food should be warm, it is recommended to eat often and gradually.
Depending on the level of acidity of gastric juice, the gastroenterologist can still advise drinking mineral water.
Separately, it is worth considering the drug ASD in the treatment of bile reflux gastritis. Dorogov's antiseptic stimulant is based on meat-and-bone meal, which has been heat-treated, dissolves in alcohol, water and fats.
ASD-2 is now used in veterinary practice, but it is often advised for the treatment of the described disease in humans, since the drug normalizes the digestive processes, the motility of the gastrointestinal tract.
Given that the SDA is not considered a medicine, its use remains at the individual's discretion according to the recommendations of the doctor.
