In daily life many people have caused problems to their stomachs because of their drinking habits, of which alcohol stomachitis is a more common occurrence, and today we will learn about it.
I. What’s alcoholic stomachitis?
Alcoholic gastric inflammation is, by definition, a stomach inflammation caused by alcohol irritation and injury to the gastric mucous membranes as a result of its chronic high consumption. The stomach mucus used to play an important role in protecting the stomach wall, such as putting on a “protective suit” for the stomach, and alcohol was like a “destructor” that was frequently punched and eroded, making the mucus fragile, bloated, edema and even rotting, and slowly developing into alcohol stomachitis.
II. Symptoms of alcoholic stomach disease
The most common symptom of this is stomach pain, which may be hidden or more severe, often aggravated by alcohol consumption. At the same time, there is a feeling of nausea and vomiting, especially when you’re drunk, and there are bloodlines that sometimes come out of your mouth, which is a sign of more serious gastric mucous damage. In addition, many patients suffer from a lack of appetite to watch a table of food, and are prone to abdominal swelling, with a feeling that their stomachs are always full of drums, bad digestion, anti-acid and heart-burning symptoms, and that their mouths are sorely condensed and their chests as if they were burning.
III. Hazards of alcoholic stomachitis
It is important not to underestimate alcohol stomachitis, which could be a serious hazard if it is neglected and allowed to develop. Continued damage to the gastric mucous membranes and repeated inflammation can lead to ulcer in the stomach, which is more difficult to treat than stomach inflammation, and more visible and frequent pain. Moreover, long-term inflammation stimuli increase the risk of stomach cancer, no doubt placing a “red light” on health. In addition to this, the nutritional absorption of the entire population is affected by stomach disorders, poor eating and digestion, and is prone to physical wasting and inactivity, which affect daily life and work.
IV. How to combat alcohol stomachitis
First, for a friend already suffering from alcohol stomachitis, ablution is necessary, and only a complete farewell to alcohol can give the stomach mucous membranes a chance to be slowly repaired. In terms of diet, there is a need to eat fresh, digestible foods, such as rice congee, noodles, soft buns, etc., and to avoid eating spicy, greasy, irritating foods to stimulate the stomach again. Fresh vegetables and fruits can be eaten more, and nutrients, such as vitamins, can be replenished, facilitating the repair of stomach mucous membranes.
At the same time, life must be regular, with early and early sleep as early as possible to avoid staying up late, so that the stomach can also regularly “work” and “rest”. If stomach pains and abdominal swelling are severe, timely access to a hospital is available, and doctors will help with the symptoms and treatment of the disease by introducing, on a case-by-case basis, a number of medications for the protection of stomach mucous membranes and for the suppression of gastric acids.
For friends who have not yet had a problem, it is best to have a proper drink, to have less or no drink, to have good eating and life habits, and not to wait until they have alcohol stomachitis.
Concluding remarks
In short, alcoholic stomachitis is a health issue that requires our attention, understanding it and actively fighting it, so that our stomach can be healthy and we can enjoy our lives with joy.
