According to survey results, the incidence of stomach problems has been rising year by year in recent years. Especially in China, the number of people suffering from stomach problems can reach about 136 million! It can be seen that China is a veritable “stomach disease country”.

The high incidence of gastric disease in China is mainly concentrated in adults aged 25 to 35. The occurrence of gastric disease is closely related to people's usual eating habits and living habits.

The stomach is a very important digestive organ in the human body. When food enters the human body, most of it will enter the human stomach. Only after digestion in the stomach can the human body absorb the nutrients in the food. Once the health of the stomach is damaged, it will easily affect human health.

After suffering from gastric disease, you should pay special attention to your diet, because a little carelessness may cause the stomach disease to "break out". Many people are advised not to eat steamed buns after suffering from stomach problems, but to drink more porridge. So, is there any scientific basis for this statement?

What causes stomach problems?

. Helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori is very contagious. Once it enters the human body, it will be difficult to kill.

No matter how high the concentration of gastric acid in the human body is, it will not kill Helicobacter pylori. Therefore, when Helicobacter pylori appears in the human body, it will easily cause the flora in the body to become imbalanced and affect the health of the stomach.

. Gastric acid

Gastric acid is divided into too much gastric acid and too little gastric acid, which will have a certain impact on health. Excessive gastric acid secretion can cause symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, gastric ulcer . Insufficient gastric acid can cause indigestion, and prolonged indigestion can cause symptoms of malnutrition.

. When stimulated

the defense ability of the stomach decreases, coupled with the strong stimulation to the stomach, it is easy to cause stomach problems; such as eating spicy food, eating too hot or too cold food, a lot of smoking and drinking, drugs and emotional stimulation, etc. will affect the health of the stomach.

. Gastric mucosa

The gastric mucosa is thin and soft, but it is not afraid of acid and can isolate gastric acid.

The stomach wall is divided into four layers, from the inside to the outside, they are the mucosal layer, submucosal layer, muscular layer and serosal layer. When the gastric mucosa is damaged, gastric acid can leak out along the wound and reach the submucosa.

The submucosa is very weak and almost merges with the mucosa; therefore, after gastric acid passes through the mucosa, it will directly pass through the submucosa, causing damage to the muscle layer, thereby causing gastric ulcers. There are many blood vessels and nerves in the muscle layer. Once an ulcer occurs, there will be obvious pain.

. Digestive enzymes

Digestive enzymes digest food mainly by gastric acid and digestive enzymes. The lack of digestive enzymes will slow down the digestion speed of food and prolong the digestion time of food.

If food is not completely digested in the stomach for a long time, it will easily ferment in the body and produce a special smell. As long as burps there will be a sour smell.

. Digestive tract dynamics

When reactionary motion occurs, the food It moves upward in the stomach and returns to the mouth, causing symptoms of vomiting; upward gastric acid can cause acid reflux, and upward gas can cause hiccups and hiccups; insufficient gastric motility can cause stomach pain; insufficient intestinal motility can cause bloating and constipation; excessive gastric motility can cause gastric spasms.

I can’t eat steamed buns if I have a bad stomach. Should I drink more porridge?

[Can’t you eat steamed buns if you have a bad stomach? 】

People with poor gastrointestinal problems can eat steamed buns, because steamed buns are fermented foods and are easily digested by the gastrointestinal tract. Normal consumption will not increase the digestive burden of the gastrointestinal tract, but you should pay attention to the following when eating steamed buns. Next two points:

. Steamed buns should not be eaten cold; because cold steamed buns are relatively hard, it will increase the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to abdominal distension and discomfort. Food that is too cold will stimulate gastrointestinal spasms, causing abdominal pain.

. It is not advisable to eat hard steamed buns: grilled steamed buns , fried steamed buns, etc. are all hard steamed buns. Hard foods can cause damage to the gastric mucosa.

However, it should be noted that patients with stomach problems cannot only eat steamed buns to fill their stomachs, because steamed buns have relatively single nutrients and are not helpful for stomach problems, and long-term consumption is not conducive to nutritional balance.

[Should you drink more porridge if you have a bad stomach? 】

People with poor stomachs generally cannot drink porridge often, but they can drink it in moderation; porridge is usually made of rice, millet or whole grains, etc. People with stomach problems often drink porridge, which may lead to unbalanced nutritional intake, dilute gastric acid, and cause indigestion.

Because the stomach also needs exercise, always drinking porridge will reduce the digestive capacity of the stomach. Drinking porridge for a long time will make it more difficult to digest harder food than before, and it has no therapeutic effect on some chronic gastric diseases . When you first think about acute gastroenteritis, you can drink more porridge to help treat it, but don't rely on porridge to improve chronic gastric problems.

Doctor: People with poor gastrointestinal conditions are advised to eat less 4 things

. Chili peppers

Chili peppers are a spicy food, rich in capsaicin . After capsaicin enters the human body, it can easily irritate the human gastrointestinal tract, or cause abnormal gastric acid secretion, which can easily cause nausea and acid reflux symptoms.

Although adding chili peppers to food can stimulate taste buds and effectively increase appetite, long-term consumption of chili peppers can easily increase the burden on the gastrointestinal mucosa, aggravate gastric diseases, and cause mucosal congestion, edema, bleeding and other symptoms.

. Persimmon

Persimmon is a kind of fruit that can often be eaten in autumn and winter. It is very rich in layers, sweet in taste and rich in nutritional value; however, it is not suitable for people with poor gastrointestinal problems.

Persimmons have a very strong astringent effect. If the tannic acid in persimmons combines with gastric acid in the stomach, it will easily form hard lumps, which will affect human health accordingly. Therefore, it is not recommended for people with weak spleen and stomach to eat too many persimmons in their daily life.

. Fried food

Fried food is a kind of food that people love and welcome, and it is also a kind of food that most young people eat more, such as fried skewers, fried chicken, French fries, crispy meat, etc.

Although fried food tastes refreshing and crispy, during the frying process, the food not only loses a lot of nutrients, but also easily produces certain harmful substances. After these harmful substances enter the human stomach, they can easily irritate the gastric mucosa, burden digestion and metabolism, and easily induce symptoms of physical discomfort such as diarrhea.

. Pickled vegetables

In life, some people especially like to eat pickled pickles. This kind of food is not only convenient and fast to eat, but also increases appetite. Especially when eating noodles or drinking rice porridge, people often like to prepare a small dish of pickles to go with the meal.

However, a large amount of salt is added to pickles during the pickling process. Regular intake can easily lead to excessive intake of sodium ions . Excessive sodium ions will not only increase the burden on blood vessels, but also increase blood pressure and levels.

In addition, pickles are also prone to produce nitrite during the pickling process. After nitrite enters the human body, it will be easily converted into nitrite. Nitrite is a strong carcinogen and easily increases the risk of gastric cancer.

How to maintain stomach health?

. Change bad eating habits

Pay attention to your eating habits at ordinary times. Do not squat or stand, do not eat smoked barbecue or fried foods, drink less strong coffee and strong tea, and eat more foods rich in crude fiber, such as mushrooms, celery, etc.; try to adopt the principle of small and frequent meals, and only eat 7 minutes full at each meal.

. Keep warm

The temperature is relatively low in winter. For people with chronic gastritis, they should pay attention to keeping their stomach warm, add or remove clothing according to weather changes, and cover themselves with bedding when sleeping at night to prevent the stomach from getting cold, so as not to cause stomach pain.

. Dietary care

For stomach problems, you should eat fresh, nutritious, soft, and light food. You should eat at regular intervals so that you can chew slowly and slowly.

Warm foods such as mutton and dog meat are suitable for people with cold stomach pain. In addition, walnuts, Tremella , wolfberry, garlic, and red dates are also good choices.

For patients with stomach problems, they should avoid eating foods that are too cold, too hot, too hard, and too rough, quit smoking and drinking, and try to take medicine after meals to prevent aggravation of stomach pain due to irritation of the gastric mucosa.

. Proper exercise

Patients with gastric disease should choose appropriate exercise according to their own interests and physical signs, and find various ways to improve resistance and body immunity to reduce the recurrence rate of the disease, thereby maintaining physical and mental health.

. Maintain a peaceful mind

Mood will affect the occurrence and development of gastric diseases, so you should maintain a happy mood at ordinary times. Try not to eat when you are too anxious or nervous, otherwise it will affect the digestion of the gastrointestinal tract and increase the burden.

In addition, you should pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and do not overwork the body. Otherwise, it will cause repeated attacks of gastric diseases in the human body!
