Original title: Be careful not to hurt your stomach during the Spring Festival dinner These stomach protection knowledge should be remembered.
Family reunions during the Spring Festival, a series of dinners often make the stomach spin without stopping, at this time of year, the number of gastroenterology outpatient clinics in the hospital will increase significantly, one of the most common symptoms is stomach flatulence, anorexia, that is, everyone generally feels bloated. Doctors remind everyone that stomach bloating is not only caused by eating too much, but can be caused by many factors, which can be relieved by some methods.
The digestive process of the human body generally includes physical digestion and chemical digestion, through the mouth, stomach, small intestine until the absorption of nutrients.
Hao Jianyu, Chief Physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University: This is a model of the stomach. There are a lot of muscles in the stomach to help us, grinding the food we eat to a very fine extent, this is the physical digestion process, after arriving in the intestines, the pancreas secretes proteases, lipases, amylases, through these three enzymes to digest the substances we eat into the smallest units, like glucose, amino acids and triglycerides, only when digested to this extent, the human intestinal villi can absorb it, absorb it into the blood, if you eat too much protein, especially fat, It is possible that the digestive enzymes are not enough.
According to the doctor, the main cause of stomach bloating is diet, such as overeating, eating too greasy, eating too fast, etc., and eating lively during the Chinese New Year, it is easy to eat a lot of air while talking while eating, which causes stomach bloating. What many people don't know is that the stomach is also the emotional organ of the human body, and it is easy to have stomach bloating when you are in a bad mood or too excited. Experts suggest that you can prepare some digestive enzyme preparations during the Spring Festival to improve the efficiency of digestion and absorption, but if stomach bloating occurs frequently or it is difficult to relieve it after taking medicine, it is still necessary to seek medical attention in time to avoid the development of a disease state.
Drink alcohol in moderation to be alert to the occurrence of acute pancreatitis
In addition to the common gastric flatulence, acid reflux, etc., the doctor introduced that the most dangerous disease that is easy to encounter during holidays is acute pancreatitis, and the most common factors that induce acute pancreatitis are excessive drinking and overeating.
The irritation of the digestive tract by alcohol mainly includes two aspects, one is the direct stimulation of the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, especially the high alcohol, which destroys the protective mechanism of the mucosa. On the other hand, alcohol relaxes the esophageal sphincter muscle, causing regurgitation of the contents of the stomach.
Hao Jianyu, Chief Physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University: Sometimes the symptoms of heartburn will occur when drinking alcohol for several days in a row, which is caused by the relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. After drinking, it is easy to cause pancreatitis, because alcohol increases the local pressure of the duodenal bulb, so the excretion of pancreatic juice may be affected after the increase, and generally eat some vegetables when drinking, which is easy to cause pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by a variety of symptoms that can be easily misdiagnosed, and may be relieved by sudden, persistent, severe pain in the left upper abdomen after binge drinking and eating, and when you bend over your knees or lean forward. There are also some people who suffer from nausea and vomiting, and abdominal pain and bloating do not relieve after vomiting. At this time, acute pancreatitis should be considered and the hospital should be seen immediately.
