Parents often complain of persistent gas, indigestion, nausea and even severe stomach pain. Don\u2019t underestimate these \u201cminor ailments\u201d. Some symptoms may be warning signs of stomach health problems, and acid reflux is very common. General practitioner Dr. So Yongbai will explain how acid reflux can be invisibly induced in daily life and how to prevent it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bad daily habits can easily lead to acid reflux<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Acid reflux, the full name of which is "gastroesophageal reflux disease", means that gastric acid or food that has been transported to the stomach abnormally flows back into the esophagus, thereby irritating or even damaging the esophageal mucosa. There are many reasons for acid reflux, many of which are caused by living habits. For example, many parents reported to me that after returning home from work, they are busy with homework, silent reading and other prescribed activities for their children, often delaying their dinner time. back. If you often eat too late and rest in bed before the food is fully digested, it will not only affect digestion but also increase the risk of gastric acid reflux up the esophagus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents often work hard to take care of their children, so they should be aware that if they tend to be anxious and nervous, it will also affect their gastrointestinal function. In addition to triggering irritable bowel syndrome (sensitive bowel), stress is also closely related to acid reflux. The Faculty of Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong conducted a survey on the gastrointestinal and emotional health of Hong Kong people and found that among patients who experienced acid reflux symptoms multiple times a week, the proportion of patients with "frequent anxiety disorder" was higher than that of the general population (i.e. people without acid reflux symptoms). 4 times higher, and some patients also suffer from depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, many families choose to eat and drink as much as they want during the holidays, and all-you-can-eat or buffet meals are particularly popular these days. However, whether adults or children, eating too much or too quickly will not only increase the burden on the stomach, but also stimulate excessive secretion of gastric acid, making it easy for gastric acid to flow up from the stomach into the esophagus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although research shows that adults who are obese, pregnant, or smokers are more likely to suffer from acid reflux, there have been cases in which school children ate too quickly or had the habit of eating late night snacks, causing acid to flow back into the esophagus, causing bloating. , nausea and other discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stomach pain accompanied by chest pain and difficulty swallowing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Patients with acid reflux will initially experience intermittent acid reflux or chest burning (commonly known as heartburn); when the condition becomes more severe, gastric acid can flow back to the vocal cords, trachea, and lungs, and can also cause complications such as erosive esophagitis and esophageal ulcers. and even increase the risk of esophageal cancer. If you are already troubled by acid reflux, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible for appropriate examinations such as gastric endoscopy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to general drug treatment, changing personal diet and living habits is also important to improve the condition. If you have frequent stomach discomfort, you should avoid eating irritating or difficult-to-digest foods to reduce damage to the gastric mucosa caused by excessive gastric acid secretion. In addition, it is recommended to eat less foods that can easily induce acid reflux:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
