Introduction
In general, discomfort and nausea in the stomach after consuming sweets may be caused by factors such as excessive gastric acid secretion, indigestion, or gastritis. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. Besides these three conditions, other possible causes include gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and stomach cancer. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Generally, feeling stomach discomfort or nausea after consuming sweets may be caused by factors such as excessive gastric acid secretion, indigestion, or gastritis. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Excessive Gastric Acid Secretion
Consuming too many sweets may stimulate increased gastric acid secretion, which in turn affects the gastric mucosa and leads to adverse symptoms such as heartburn and nausea. Patients can alleviate excessive gastric acid secretion by drinking more warm water.
2. Indigestion
Eating large amounts of sweet foods may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing indigestion and resulting in symptoms such as bloating, nausea, and abdominal pain. Patients may take medications such as compound lactase capsules or Bacillus subtilis bichong live bacteria granules under medical guidance, while also adjusting their dietary habits.
3. Gastritis
If the sweet food consumed is unhygienic, pathogenic bacteria may invade the stomach, causing inflammation. This inflammatory irritation of gastric tissues can lead to symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Patients may use medications such as compound lactase capsules or potassium citrate bismuth tablets under a doctor's supervision, while paying attention to food hygiene.
In addition to the three causes mentioned above, other conditions such as gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, or stomach cancer could also be responsible. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
