Porridge: Not suitable for patients with gastroesophageal reflux

Congee food is a liquid food, with a soft texture and easy digestion, which can reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. In theory, it is a good stomach food. However, Jia Kai, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, said that not all patients with stomach problems are suitable for porridge. For example, patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease are not suitable for porridge. This is because the porridge is relatively watery, and the patient will easily cause reflux after drinking it, which will cause pantothenic acid in the stomach, which will aggravate the condition. Such patients are not recommended to eat too much liquid food, they are suitable for eating semi-liquid or semi-solid food.

Jia Kai told reporters that for most other gastric patients, drinking porridge is very nourishing. The porridge can reduce the irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, and it can quickly enter the small intestine without a lot of chewing and gastric peristalsis. Helps digestion of food and is easily absorbed by the body. Moreover, for these people, the porridge is better to be boiled, and there should not be too many coarse grains.

Pasta: soft and rotten noodles nourish the stomach

If you have a bad stomach, you have to eat pasta. There is some truth to this argument. Because pasta is generally easier to digest, especially for patients with hyperacidity, eating more pasta foods can not only help the stomach to digest better but also because the alkali in the pasta can neutralize the excess stomach Stomach acid has a therapeutic effect.

Jia Kai especially reminded everyone: "Although pasta is more nourishing for the stomach, you should also pay attention to the hardness and cooking method of the pasta. For example, soft noodles and steamed buns are less irritating to the stomach than hard noodles and pancakes, especially chronic ones. Patients with gastritis and gastric ulcers should avoid irritation to the gastrointestinal tract in their daily lives. They should not eat hard, cold, spicy, and greasy foods. Such patients are suitable for foods such as noodles and longxu noodles."

Milk: two cups can be too much and hurt the stomach

Milk can dilute stomach acid, so it is often considered very suitable food for stomach nourishment. Jia Kai said that compared with other foods, milk does have relatively less irritation to the stomach. Although some theories believe that milk can neutralize gastric acid and form a protective film on the surface of the stomach, in fact, excessive and frequent intake of milk will increase the secretion of gastric acid.

Jia Kai emphasized that milk is edible for patients with stomach problems, but care should be taken in moderation. 300 grams of milk and milk products per person per day is appropriate, a glass of milk (200~250ml) for breakfast or one hour before going to bed at night, and a small cup of yogurt (100~125ml) for lunch. Do not use milk as a treatment Means for stomach problems. It is not recommended to drink milk for patients with acute gastritis or gastric disease, because it will cause discomfort such as bloating. In addition, patients with lactose intolerance are prone to diarrhea after drinking milk, and they are not suitable for drinking milk. These patients can use yogurt, cheese, etc. instead of milk.

Soda crackers: add meals suitable for regular meals, don’t eat

From the ingredient point of view, soda crackers contain alkaline sodium bicarbonate, which can neutralize the gastric acid of those with strong gastric acid secretion and relieve symptoms such as "heartburn" caused by excessive gastric acid secretion.

Jia Kai said: "Soda crackers are edible, but be careful that patients with stomach problems should chew adequately, chew slowly, and eat with some liquid foods. Moreover, soda crackers are not suitable for dinner. , It can be eaten as a snack during the recovery period of chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, and other diseases.

"As for the so-called "stomach-nourishing biscuits" in the advertisement, the content of the ingredients for nourishing the stomach is extremely low. It is not realistic to rely on it to nourish the stomach.

Yam: Nourish the stomach and hurt the stomach

Yam is a starchy food, and patients with stomach problems can choose to eat it."Yams can’t talk about nourishing the stomach or hurting the stomach, because, from the ingredients of yam, there are no special ingredients for stomach nourishment. The main thing is to look at the cooking method, usually steaming. The yam made by this method will It is relatively soft, has no stimulating effect on the stomach, and is suitable for all stomach patients."Jia Kai finally reminded everyone that many stomach problems will recur in this season. Patients need to eat regularly, don't be hungry and full, reduce food irritation, keep warm, and keep their mood stable. If stomach problems occur, they must seek medical treatment in time.

Many people believe that eating liquid food can nourish the stomach; in the past, some doctors also advocated that patients with stomach problems should mainly eat porridge because liquid food is easy to digest. However, Chief Physician Lu Fenglin, Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University, pointed out that long-term liquid food not only does not nourish the stomach, but it hurts the stomach.

　　Lu Fenglin pointed out that liquid food is suitable for people who are weak and unable to chew food, such as the elderly, patients with oral or cheek surgery, and patients with gastrointestinal diseases. However, it is best for such people to take liquid food under the guidance of a doctor, and then mix it with other foods, otherwise the nutrition will not keep up. If a healthy person or a person with a weak stomach wants to eat liquid food to nourish their stomach, it may be counterproductive. Liquid food is swallowed and ingested without being chewed. It is not sufficiently stirred with saliva. The amylase in saliva cannot play the role of initial digestion. It will directly enter the stomach and increase the burden on the stomach. Liquid food contains more water and will dilute the gastric juice after entering the stomach. It is not conducive to the digestion of food; long-term consumption of liquid food will reduce the stomach function, and eating other foods, especially hard foods, fiber foods, etc., will increase the burden on the stomach.

Lu Fenglin believes that in order to nourish the stomach, the first step is to eat three meals a day at a fixed amount, eat seven points full, avoid uneven hunger and fullness, hunger and fullness will cause stomach damage. When eating, chew slowly and let the food enter the stomach after sufficient initial digestion, which can reduce the burden on the stomach, increase saliva secretion, and reduce gastric acid and bile secretion. People with a bad stomach should give up smoking, alcohol, coffee, strong tea, carbonated drinks, spicy and other irritating foods to avoid damage to the gastric mucosa. For families who like to use porridge, porridge, etc. for breakfast or dinner, it is best to match with foods such as steamed buns, steamed buns, and side dishes
