Alcohol is usually not recommended for GERD patients, but there is no strict rule that you cannot drink alcohol for the rest of your life. The mechanism of gastroesophageal reflux is mainly due to the increase of gastric acid secretion, the function of lower esophageal sphincter decreases, and the excessive gastric acid refluxes into the esophagus, which causes the esophageal mucous membrane to become edematous, congested, and erosive, and then causes some symptoms, such as acid reflux, heartburn, and retrosternal pain, etc. After drinking alcohol, it will stimulate the gastric mucous membrane and cause abdominal pain. After drinking alcohol will stimulate the gastric mucosa to cause abdominal pain, serious patients will also cause acute gastritis, and after drinking alcohol will stimulate gastric acid secretion increase, alcohol will also make the lower esophageal sphincter function further decline, thus aggravating acid reflux, aggravating the clinical symptoms of patients. If the patient’s symptoms of GERD are effectively controlled and there are no symptoms, it is usually possible to drink a small amount of alcohol, but it is still not recommended to drink alcohol. GERD patients who experience any discomfort after drinking alcohol are advised to go to the hospital in time for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
