Hello,
With the question “Can gastric reflux be cured? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Gastroesophageal reflux is caused by gastric juice with a lot of acid, enzymes back up into the esophagus. The disease is caused by many causes, related to the opening and closing of the cardiac sphincter, diet, lifestyle, stress, obesity, stomach H.Pylori infection,...If not treated, it can cause many dangerous complications.
In young people like you, the disease is also common, the cause is usually H.Pylori infection and diet, living and obesity.
The disease can be completely cured if it is diagnosed early, properly treated, along with changing healthy eating and living habits.
You must go to the doctor and do an esophagoscopy - stomach to determine the disease, the extent of the disease and find out the cause, as well as the risk factors for the development and exacerbation of the disease.
Usually, the disease will be treated with drugs to control gastric acid, regulate bowel movements, quickly empty the stomach or kill H.Pylori if any, besides changing eating and living habits, Manage stress well, lose weight if obese. This requires determination and perseverance.
Particularly with the diet (very important): Eat at the right time, do not eat too full, do not lie down immediately after eating, do not stay up too late without eating. You should choose soft, easy-to-digest foods, don't drink alcohol, limit fried foods, fast foods, high in fat, don't drink carbonated water and easily fermented foods like milk, etc. Limit spices and sour, spicy, and hot foods.
