Stomach disease in winter is coming urgently

　　Diet Weapon

　　The weather is cold in winter, and the temperature in Beijing has broken new lows these days.

When the temperature is low, the intestinal function is prone to disorder, which is a high incidence of acute gastritis.

If you accidentally eat food that is contaminated with bacteria and are not digestible, or drink unclean cold water, or if you eat and drink, it is easy to cause acute gastritis.

Therefore, the "entrance closed" must be kept in winter.

　　Today, let’s take care of our stomachs. In winter, if we want to keep our stomachs safe, what should we pay attention to in our diet?

Are there any stomach-related diseases that need us to be vigilant?

　　Typical case: Mr. Zhang, the manager of a foreign company in Beijing, had stomach problems. He worked overtime with a few colleagues one night. After the overtime, everyone was hungry. So a few people went to a restaurant and had hot pot. The mutton was very enjoyable. , And the cold beer is super refreshing, and everyone had a great chat.

But just after eating, Mr. Zhang felt a terrible stomachache, and he still didn't get any relief after going to the toilet twice.

Accompanied by a colleague, he went to the hospital urgently. After examination, it was found to be acute gastritis. Fortunately, he was treated in time, and Mr. Zhang finally turned from danger to safety.

　　Examples like Mr. Zhang are very common in winter.

Because in these ninety-nine cold winters, a hot and stimulating meal of hot pot or mala soup with a refreshing draft beer or cold drink is a pleasure, and it is also a choice of many people.

But this also laid a hidden danger for acute gastritis.

　　Stomach disease mostly manifests as an acute onset, with varying symptoms.

There are often triggers such as improper diet, alcoholism, and taking irritating drugs, followed by abdominal pain, loss of appetite, belching, nausea, vomiting and other dyspeptic symptoms; in addition, the patients caused by food poisoning are often accompanied by acute enteritis and appear around the umbilicus Pain, diarrhea, fever, dehydration and even shock can be accompanied by upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

In severe cases, the vomitus is slightly bloody, and the disease is caused by Salmonella or golden grapes and their toxins. The disease usually occurs within 24 hours after eating, and is often accompanied by diarrhea, fever, and dehydration. In severe cases, acidosis or shock may occur.

　　So, how to correctly understand acute gastritis, how to treat and prevent it?
