Low appetite, bitter mouth, belching, feeling fullness of the upper abdomen after eating, acid reflux and heartburn, etc. These are all symptoms caused by various functional or organic gastrointestinal diseases.
First, you should go to the gastrointestinal department of the hospital for a systematic examination to find or rule out various gastrointestinal diseases or systemic diseases (such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, tumors, etc.). If gastrointestinal diseases or other diseases are diagnosed, active treatment should be given. Only on the basis of effective treatment of the primary disease can dietary regulation be discussed.
On the basis of eliminating or treating various diseases, different dietary strategies should be adopted for different gastrointestinal symptoms.
No appetite
Cause analysis:
There are many functional reasons for the reduction of appetite, mainly including mental tension, fatigue, weakened stomach motivation (difficulty in the stomach to empty food in time).
Solutions: regulate emotions, relax your spirit, slow down the pace of life, and take a timely rest. Special emphasis is placed on the regularity of the three meals, regular and quantitative, and avoid overeating. Strengthen outdoor activities and breathe more fresh air. In terms of diet, emphasize diversification of types, avoid monotonous repetition, pay attention to controlling the color, fragrance, taste and shape of the food, and achieve dry and thin combinations, thickness and thickness. Eat more appetizing foods. In terms of stimulating appetite, various condiments have unique functions. You may wish to choose according to your taste. In addition, the intake of crude fiber food should be avoided to avoid affecting stomach emptying. Also, all kinds of sweets or sweet drinks are prohibited before three meals, otherwise it will make the injury worse and make the already weak appetite worse.
Food and meal selection: Hawthorn, plum blossom, tangerine peel, etc. can stimulate appetite. In terms of fruits, strawberries and sweet oranges have certain appetizing effects, while grapes, bananas, lychees, etc. may reduce appetite due to their high sugar content. The seasonings can be selected as tomato sauce, curry sauce, bean paste, chili sauce, etc., but it should not be too "irritating" to prevent overcorrection. It is important to ban or use less of the following foods, including fried foods, leeks, raw soybeans, creamy foods, sweet carbonated drinks, etc. Eating a large amount of peanuts and melon seeds is not recommended.
Eat it's full
Cause analysis: I feel quite hungry before meals and have a good appetite, but if I eat a little, I feel full in the upper abdomen and my appetite will also decrease sharply. This is the so-called "early full after meals". The main reason for this is that the stomach motivation is weakened after meals and the ability to accommodate food is low. Therefore, after just taking one or two bites, there is no "place" to bear more food.
Solution: Strengthening gastric motivation, accelerating gastric emptying, and enhancing stomach tolerance are the key to solving the problem. Of course, to what extent food can stimulate gastric motivation remains to be confirmed, but there is no doubt that avoiding food that damages gastric motivation is necessary.
Food and meal selection: The principle of small amounts and multiple meals should be followed, and the "3+3" eating method should be adopted every day. That is, some foods in the main meal (such as staple food, yogurt, fruit, etc.) should be divided as extra meals. On the basis of the total amount, eat 6 meals, and the staple food for each meal should not exceed 2 taels, and the total amount is about 70% full. Fat meat, fried food, and crude fiber food are prohibited. When eating, be sure to chew the food thoroughly before swallowing it. Eating too fast will aggravate premature satiety.
Acid reflux heartburn
Cause analysis: Because gastric motility disorders, sphincter dysfunction in the lower esophageal area, etc., acidic substances in the stomach reflux to the esophagus after meals, resulting in symptoms such as heartburn and chest pain. In severe cases, it is even unbearable, which directly leads to eating disorders. Long-term gastroesophageal reflux can also cause serious damage to the esophagus and even malignant lesions.
Solution: On the one hand, we must avoid foods that damage the function of the sphincter in the lower esophagus. On the other hand, we must improve gastric motivation, accelerate gastric emptying, and prevent food retention in the stomach. It should be emphasized that paying attention to eating style and position is the key to solving the problem.
Food and meal selection: Disable foods that damage the function of the sphincter in the lower esophagus, including coffee, fat meat, pepper noodles, etc. Foods that damage stomach motivation are prohibited, including fat meat, desserts, fried foods, crude fiber foods, etc. Adopt the principle of small amounts and multiple meals, and chew slowly. It is not advisable to lie flat within one hour after eating. When sleeping, pay attention to using a pillow, etc. to raise the head and shoulders slightly to a certain angle.
