Patients with reflux esophagitis can eat rice or noodles without clear contraindications, but both rice and noodles should be eaten in moderation and not in excess.
Reflux esophagitis is a disease in which substances such as stomach and duodenal contents reflux into the esophagus due to factors such as a decrease in the esophagus’ ability to resist reflux and a decrease in its ability to clear it, resulting in damage to the esophageal mucosa. Patients may experience typical symptoms such as reflux and heartburn, as well as discomfort such as abdominal pain, belching (burping), and loss of appetite.
Patients with reflux esophagitis should pay attention to a light diet, eating rice or noodles is fine, there is no clear contraindication, but should pay attention to the cooking method, avoid frying, deep-frying, etc., and avoid eating too much, so as not to stimulate the increase of gastric acid secretion and aggravate reflux.
In addition, patients with reflux esophagitis should also pay attention to avoid eating cold, spicy and other stimulating foods, avoid overeating before going to bed, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to reduce the symptoms of reflux.
Patients with reflux esophagitis are advised to seek timely medical attention and actively receive treatment to avoid delaying their condition.
