The causes of stomach bloating and acidity include improper dietary habits, peptic ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux, etc., which need to be treated according to the doctor’s instructions after the causes are clarified.
1. Improper eating habits: irregular diet, eating unclean food, drinking a lot of alcohol, etc. will cause abnormal digestive function of the stomach, causing a lot of gastric acid secretion, inhibiting gastrointestinal peristalsis, which will be manifested as bloating and acidity.
2. Peptic ulcer: often caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, stress and so on. Inflammation stimulates the gastric mucosa causing damage, and at the same time stimulates the gastric lining to secrete a large amount of gastric acid, inhibiting the normal peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, which manifests itself as the symptoms of gastric bloating and stomach acidity.
3. Gastroesophageal reflux: It is caused by the damage of the lower esophageal sphincter, which leads to the damage of the structure and function of anti-reflux, resulting in the reflux of gastric contents. The reflux material repeatedly stimulates the mucous membrane of esophagus and stomach, which can be clinically manifested as gastric distension and gastric acidity, as well as acid reflux and retrosternal pain, etc. When the patient has gastric distension and gastric acidity, the patient will feel the pain.
When the patient has the manifestation of stomach bloating and acidity, it is recommended to go to the hospital to find out the cause of the disease, and choose the most suitable treatment plan under the guidance of the doctor in combination with their own specific conditions.
