愈來愈多都市人有胃酸問題,固然和飲食不節有關,過食肥膩、煎炸、重味食物,煙酒過多,食無定時,統統都容易引起胃酸倒流。胃酸倒流的感覺如胸中火燒一樣,可能伴胃脹胃痛,時有噯氣,嚴重時甚至嘔吐。有些患者雖沒有感到「火燒心」,時常肚餓,也是胃酸過多的表現。另外有些反覆咳嗽的患者,遍吃止咳藥無效,亦可能因為胃酸上逆,酸氣刺激引起氣管收縮而咳嗽。

中醫治療胃酸倒流,考慮的不只是制酸,而是如何調整胃的功能失調。除了要清胃火,還要考慮氣滯、食滯、氣虛、胃寒等方面。生氣激動時發作的胃酸,要疏肝行氣;食滯胃酸要消食和胃;反覆發作、勞累即發則和脾胃虛弱有關,要健脾和胃;天氣寒冷或進食生冷食物發作的胃酸,則要溫養脾胃。可以說,同是胃酸,發作原因因人而異,治療時要隨症施治,決不能一帖制酸藥服到底。

預防胃酸倒流,要注意三餐規律,勿進食過多刺激性食物,多吃新鮮菜肉,減少飲用酒精,這樣便能減少胃酸倒流的發生。
