Normally, during eating, the bile produced by the liver cells enters the duodenum to aid digestion. But sometimes it happens that bile from the intestine is thrown into the stomach cavity, and such a syndrome in medicine is called duodenogastric reflux.
In some cases this may be due to diseases of the digestive system (chronic duodenitis, cholecystitis, weakening of the pyloric closure function, diaphragmatic hernia, etc.), in others it is a separate pathology. Occasionally this phenomenon occurs in a considerable number of healthy people, but if it does not show itself, the disease does not count and does not need treatment. We will find out what are the symptoms and treatment of a pathological ejection of bile into the stomach.
Symptoms of ejection of bile into the stomach
The clinical picture of this pathological phenomenon includes such manifestations:
- heartburn after eating (burning along the esophagus);
- belching of air with an acidic sour;
- a feeling of bitterness in the mouth;
- bloating, raspiranie stomach soon after a meal;
- rezi or spasmodic pain in the epigastric region;
- nausea, vomiting with an admixture of bile;
- presence in the language of yellow plaque.
Treatment of ejection of bile in the stomach
It should be understood that this phenomenon adversely affects the condition of the gastric mucosa, namely, leads to atrophic processes. Therefore, with suspicious symptoms, you should immediately contact a specialist who, after carrying out the diagnosis, will select a treatment course. The tactic of treating the ejection of bile in the stomach should be based on the causes of reflux, i.e. First of all, the provoking factor should be eliminated (both surgical and conservative methods can be used for this).
In addition, it is necessary to neutralize the negative effect of bile on the walls of the stomach, which is usually prescribed drug therapy with the following groups of drugs:
- Selective prokinetics (Motilium, Cisapride, etc.) are medicines that promote the early removal of contents from the stomach and normalize the tone of sphincters.
- Proton pump inhibitors (Esomeprazole, Rabeprazole, etc.) or antacids (Maalox, Almagel, etc.) are agents that reduce acidity in the stomach.
- Ursodeoxycholic acid - a substance that converts bile acids in the stomach into a water-soluble form, etc.
It is important to follow a healthy diet and diet.
