Can reflux esophagitis drink congee

First, if reflux esophagitis, we should drink less porridge, because porridge is likely to damage our stomach. Esophagitis is esophagitis, which refers to the inflammation caused by edema and congestion of esophageal mucosa due to stimulation or injury of superficial or deep tissue of esophageal mucosa.

Second, the number of patients with reflux esophagitis has increased significantly, and this part of patients is not suitable for drinking porridge to nourish their stomach. Because porridge is acidic, if you continue to drink porridge, it will add fuel to the fire. Many patients with superficial gastritis drink porridge for a long time because they believe in porridge to nourish the stomach, which leads to reflux esophagitis and even whole esophageal erosion.

Thirdly, chemical stimulation includes gastric acid, bile, liquor, strong acid, strong base, medicine, etc.; physical stimulation includes hot food, drink, incarceration of foreign body (fishbone, etc.) in esophagus, long-term placement of nasogastric tube, etc. Esophagitis can also be caused by the local damage of the esophagus caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or by the decrease of the patient's resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, fungi (Candida) or virus infection.
