10 Comfortable Fasting Tips for Gastric Patients<\/a><\/h3>
Fasting is an important moment in the lives of Muslims, but for some people who suffer from gastritis or other stomach disorders, fasting can be a challenge in itself. \n\n \n\n Gastric ulcer, also known as gastritis, is a common term used to refer to disorders of the stomach that cause symptoms such as stomach pain, heartburn, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and other digestive disturbances. Gastritis can be caused by various factors including bacterial infections, certain medications, stress, unhealthy eating habits, and alcohol consumption. Symptoms of gastritis can range from mild to severe, and management often involves lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and the use of specific medications as directed by a doctor. \n\n Here are ten tips that can help gastric patients perform fasting comfortably: \n\n \n \n Plan Your Suhoor and Iftar Menus \n \n \n\n Choose light and easily digestible foods for suhoor and iftar. Avoid spicy, fatty, and oily foods that can trigger gastric symptoms. Whenever possible, opt for high-fiber foods to help maintain digestive health. \n\n \n \n Eat in Small Portions \n \n \n\n Rather than eating in one large meal, divide your suhoor and iftar into several small portions. This helps lighten the burden on the stomach and reduces the risk of gastric symptoms. \n\n \n \n Avoid Acidic and Carbonated Consumption \n \n \n\n Acidic foods and drinks, such as oranges and sodas, can worsen gastric symptoms. Avoid consuming these foods and drinks during the fasting month. \n\n \n \n Pay Attention to Meal Times \n \n \n\n Avoid eating too quickly or too slowly during suhoor and iftar. Try to eat within a reasonable time frame to avoid excessive pressure on the stomach. \n\n \n \n Don't Drink Too Much During Iftar \n \n \n\n Although it's important to hydrate the body after fasting all day, avoid drinking too much at once during iftar. This can cause bloating and worsen gastric symptoms. \n\n \n \n Avoid Irritating Foods and Drinks \n \n \n\n Some foods and drinks like coffee, tea, chocolate, and high-fat foods can trigger gastric symptoms. Pay attention to your body's reaction to these foods and avoid them if possible. \n\n \n \n Get Adequate Rest \n \n \n\n Ensure you get enough rest between suhoor and iftar. Lack of sleep can increase the risk of gastric symptoms. However, avoid resting or sleeping immediately after eating. \n\n \n \n Pay Attention to Stress Levels \n \n \n\n Stress can worsen gastric symptoms. Find ways to manage stress such as meditation, light exercise, or other calming activities during the fasting month. \n\n \n\n If your friend Hermina has a history of severe gastritis or experiences worsening symptoms during fasting, consult a doctor immediately. By following the above tips, gastric patients can perform fasting more comfortably and reduce the risk of gastric symptoms during the Ramadan month. Keep monitoring your body's response and consult with doctors at Hermina Podomoro Hospital if necessary to maintain your stomach health during fasting \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The increase in stomach acid can irritate the lining of the esophagus. (source: detikhealth) \n\n The Rebahan: Lifestyle and Risk of GERD \n\n \n Sedentarization and GERD: Most bedridden people tend to spend hours in a sitting or lying position. This may reduce physical activity, which has been linked to an increased risk of GERD. \n Eating Patterns and Lying Down Habits: Consuming heavy meals before bed and lying down immediately after eating can increase pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, which can trigger acid reflux.

Reduce the time spent on these things. \n Create a Supportive Environment: Make sure your surrounding environment supports productivity. A clean and organized workplace can help reduce the tendency to lie down.

Ulcer and Gerd, Similar but not the Same<\/a><\/h3>
Sahabat Hermina, in general, an ulcer is a condition that indicates there is a problem in the stomach. While GERD is a more serious condition. Furthermore, GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease is a condition when stomach acid rises from the stomach into the esophagus (acid reflux), which is caused by a weakened valve at the bottom of the esophagus. \n\n Gastritis is a collection of symptoms that cause discomfort in the upper abdomen or chest after consuming certain foods or drinks. Meanwhile, GERD is a condition where stomach acid rises into the esophagus which causes heartburn or a burning sensation in the chest. At first glance it looks similar, right? For more details about the difference between an ulcer and GERD, come on, see the full explanation below. \n\n Causes of Ulcers and GERD \n\n GERD is caused by repeated exposure to stomach acid to the esophagus or esophagus which results in erosion of the esophageal mucosa. This is also caused by the weakening of the esophageal valve, so that stomach acid, which should not be able to go up, can rise past the esophageal valve and irritate the esophageal wall. Whereas in an ulcer, what is irritated is only the stomach wall. \n\n Ulcer and GERD symptoms \n\n When viewed in terms of symptoms, heartburn is characterized by a feeling of discomfort that comes and goes in the upper abdominal area. Other conditions that most often occur in stomach ulcers are: \n\n \n Flatulence at the top. \n Stomach feels full when eating, even though the food has not been finished. \n Pain in the solar plexus. \n Pass gas and burp. \n Nauseous. \n Vomiting. \n \n\n Unlike the case with an ulcer, GERD symptoms can be said to be more severe. These symptoms are gastric acid reflux characterized by a burning sensation in the chest or heartburn and occurs two or more times a week. This sensation can cause symptoms including: \n\n \n Regurgitation, namely food or stomach acid rising into the esophagus. \n Chest pain. \n Difficulty swallowing. \n Throat feels lumpy. \n Chest burning after eating and may be worse at night. \n \n\n Ulcer and GERD Treatment \n\n Treatment for ulcers and GERD is almost the same. But generally, ulcer treatment depends on the severity. Mild symptoms can be treated with lifestyle changes, such as avoiding consumption of fatty and spicy foods, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and reduce daily alcohol and caffeine consumption. In severe cases, dyspepsia is treated with medication. For example, antacids, H-2 receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and antibiotics. \n\n Meanwhile, in the case of GERD, treatment begins with changing the diet, aka switching to foods that are low in fat, not too salty, and not too spicy. Changes in the diet need to be accompanied by changes to a healthier lifestyle, such as getting enough sleep, managing stress, exercising regularly, and stopping smoking. If the condition does not improve, people with GERD are advised to take medication to relieve symptoms. \n\n How to Overcome Ulcer and GERD \n\n Even though gastritis and GERD are slightly different, the way to deal with them is the same. The easiest way is a healthy lifestyle. Apart from that, you can also do the following: \n\n \n More regular diet. \n Avoid lying down after eating. \n Avoid spicy and sour foods. \n Keep your weight stable. \n Sleep regularly. \n Avoid smoking and consuming alcohol. \n \n\n So, that's the difference between ulcers and GERD that's important for you to know. Adopt a healthy lifestyle, avoid smoking and alcohol, and do a few simple things, starting with setting more regular meal times and not being late. Salam sehat. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
