Patients with reflux esophagitis are advised to avoid eating salted duck eggs, which can irritate the mucous membrane of the digestive tract and cause pain, nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Reflux esophagitis is a type of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is a breakdown of the esophageal mucosa caused by acid reflux. It can be caused by factors such as decreased function of anti-reflux structures, decreased clearance of the esophagus, weakening of the defense barrier of the esophageal mucosa, and abnormal sensation of the esophagus, resulting in acid reflux, heartburn, chest pain, epigastric pain, belching (burping), nausea, vomiting, and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Salted duck eggs contain more salt, and a lot of oil precipitation after pickling, these substances may stimulate the esophagus and gastric mucosa, resulting in esophageal mucosal congestion, edema, and stimulate the gastric mucosa to secrete a large amount of gastric acid, too much gastric acid reflux into the esophagus, thus triggering or exacerbating the symptoms of GERD patients, such as heartburn, chest pain, epigastric pain, acid reflux, and so on.
It is recommended that patients with reflux esophagitis consult a doctor in time for a clear diagnosis and further treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
