Often gastroesophageal reflux "heartburn", but don't think that patience is enough. Weng Mingxi, a gastroenterologist at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that it only takes four steps for gastroesophageal reflux to become cancer. If gastric acid repeatedly erodes the esophageal mucosa, it will lead to esophageal mucosal injury, repeated injury and repair of the esophagus, progress to Barrett's esophageal lesions, and eventually may produce esophageal cancer.

Huang Tianyou, a physician of hepatobiliary gastroenterology in Yadong Hospital, said that under normal circumstances, food passes through the esophagus to the stomach, and the food in the stomach goes upstream, which will cause esophageal erosion, which is called "gastroesophageal reflux". According to clinical statistics, 1 person in every 4 people in China suffers from gastroesophageal reflux. This gastrointestinal disease has become the reason why people in China often go to see a doctor after catching a cold.

Sweet potato rice porridge belongs to ng food! When gastroesophageal reflux occurs, we should re-examine our diet and adjust it in time. People will think that "giving your stomach a rest" means eating lightly, such as porridge and side dishes, but in fact, rice porridge contains a lot of water, which makes it easier to eat air during eating, which leads to an increase in stomach pressure and may lead to acid reflux.

In addition, the sweet potato for weight loss and health preservation is not suitable for patients with gastroesophageal reflux. Zhang Zeng, a gastrointestinal hepatobiliary physician, pointed out in an article that the most important thing for patients with irritable bowel syndrome is to avoid flatulence, and high-yield foods such as sweet potatoes, soybean milk, garlic and onions should never be eaten. In patients with gastroesophageal reflux, eating milk and pineapple will increase the secretion of gastric acid, thus aggravating the reflux phenomenon.

Prevent gastroesophageal reflux! Zheng Naiyuan, president of Lian 'an Clinic, pointed out that the most important thing to prevent or improve reflux esophagitis is to adjust daily diet and lifestyle. He pointed out that gastroesophageal reflux can be prevented by two measures: moderate diet and dry-wet separation.

1. Moderate diet

For people with gastroesophageal reflux, Zheng Naiyuan suggested taking a moderate diet, choosing well-digested food, taking an appropriate amount of fibrous fruits and decaffeinated drinks, and reducing sexual food.

2. Dry-wet separation

The general public can also adjust the diet order, master the principle of "dry and wet separation", eat solid food after soup, avoid drinking soup or water during meals, and prolong the processing time of food in the stomach. Eat only 7 minutes full every meal, and don't eat for 3-4 hours before going to bed. Zheng Naiyuan reminded that it is also important to quit smoking, drink less coffee and strong tea and maintain a normal weight.
