Insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract

  Insufficient blood supply to a local part of the gastrointestinal tract causes gastrointestinal dysfunction. The causes of insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract include arteriosclerosis, heart failure, especially right heart failure, and other factors. Clinical manifestations include epigastric pain, abdominal pain, bloating, anorexia, preference for warmth in the epigastrium, and gastrointestinal paresis. It is often accompanied by hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.

1. What are the causes of insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract

  1. Mental tension

  When a person is tense, worried, or angry, their negative emotions can spread from the cerebral cortex to the limbic system through the brain, affecting the autonomic nervous system, directly leading to dysregulation of gastrointestinal function, excessive secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, causing vasoconstriction of the gastric vessels, pyloric spasm, emptying obstruction, damage to the protective layer of the gastric mucosa, leading to self-digestion and the formation of ulcers.

  2. Excessive alcohol consumption

  Alcohol itself can directly damage the gastric mucosa, and alcohol can also cause liver cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis, which in turn aggravates the injury to the stomach.

  3. Overfatigue

  Whether it is physical labor or intellectual labor, if overfatigue occurs, it will cause insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, dysregulation of secretory function, excessive gastric acid and reduced mucus, causing damage to the mucosa.

  4. Uneven hunger and satiety

  When hungry, the gastric acid and protease in the stomach have no food to neutralize, and the concentration is high, which is easy to cause self-digestion of the mucosa. Overeating can also damage the self-protection mechanism of the stomach; excessive expansion of the gastric wall, prolonged food retention time, and other factors can promote stomach injury.

  5. Unclean diet

  Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the important causes of gastric and duodenal ulcers. In patients with ulcers, the detection rate of this bacterium is as high as 70-90%, and the bacterium also disappears after the ulcer disease is cured. Ulcer patients can be infected through close contact such as tableware, toothbrushes, and kissing, and unclean food is also one of the causes of infection.

  6. Overeating at dinner

  Some people often concentrate the nutritional intake of a day's food on dinner, or like to eat late-night snacks or something before going to bed. This not only causes restless sleep, but also tends to lead to obesity, and can also trigger the formation of ulcers due to excessive gastric acid secretion caused by stimulating the gastric mucosa.

  7. Coffee and strong tea

  Coffee and strong tea are central nervous system stimulants that can cause ischemia of the gastric mucosa through reflex, destroy the protective function of the gastric mucosa, and promote the occurrence of ulcers.

  8. Drug abuse

  Because of busy work, some office workers take painkillers for stomachache, which is wrong and can easily lead to the aggravation of stomach disease. Painkillers are generally analgesics, containing acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine, and other ingredients that have a direct stimulating effect on the gastric mucosa and can promote the secretion of gastric acid, causing the gastric acid to produce a strong stimulation on the mucosa and ulcers again, aggravating gastrointestinal inflammation, and even causing ulcer bleeding, which is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, making the pain worse. In addition, aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs are inherently harmful to the stomach and can lead to gastric ulcer bleeding. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as indomethacin and pentoxyfilline also have a stimulating effect on the gastric mucosa and should be taken cautiously under the guidance of a doctor.

  9. Eating in a hurry

  Food enters the stomach, after storage, grinding, and digestion, it is turned into chyme and can then be excreted into the intestines. If the food is not chewed finely, eaten in a hurry, and rough, it will increase the burden on the stomach, prolong the stay time, and cause damage to the gastric mucosa; on the other hand, slow and careful chewing can increase saliva secretion, while reducing the secretion of gastric acid and bile, which is beneficial to protect the stomach.

2. What complications can insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract easily lead to

  1. Changes in the intestinal mucosa:Recurrent diarrhea can stimulate the intestinal mucosa and cause changes in the intestinal mucosa, such as transforming into ulcerative colitis, or even becoming malignant.

  2. Decline in resistance to diseases:Frequent diarrhea can reduce the body's resistance, making the body's ability to resist infectious diseases and various infections decline.

  3. Affect the quality of life:Disorder of gastrointestinal function can seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Some patients even dare not or cannot work normally due to frequent abdominal pain and diarrhea.

  4. Cause malnutrition:It can cause malabsorption of nutrients, anemia, and vitamin deficiency. Insufficient energy supply can make people feel dizzy, blurred vision, dry mouth and tongue, fatigue of the limbs, and palpitations and shortness of breath.

3. What are the typical symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract

  Clinical manifestations are mainly gastrointestinal symptoms, and patients with gastroneurasthenia often show: recurrent episodes of continuous belching, sensation of foreign body in the throat, stuffiness and piercing pain in the ribs and epigastrium, and an indescribable discomfort in the stomach, without hunger or sometimes with strong appetite, sometimes without appetite, the stomach rises and reverses, belching, dry mouth, bitter taste, chest tightness, liking to breathe deeply, acid regurgitation, belching, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, burning sensation under the xiphoid process, postprandial fullness, discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen, and symptoms worsen with emotional changes.

4. How to prevent insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract

  1. Control calories and maintain an ideal weight.

  2. Control the quality and quantity of fat intake. Many studies have proven that long-term consumption of a large amount of fat is a major factor in causing animal atherosclerosis. It has also been proven that the quality of fat has a greater impact on blood lipids. Saturated fatty acids can raise blood cholesterol, while polyunsaturated fatty acids can lower blood cholesterol. It is generally believed that the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, and monounsaturated fatty acids (p:s:m) in the diet should be 1:1:1. The content of dietary cholesterol has a certain effect on the metabolism of body lipids and should be controlled appropriately.

  3. Control the intake of sugar. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body. Excessive intake of carbohydrates (in the dietary structure of the Chinese people, it is the excessive amount of staple food) can cause an excess of calories, which can be converted into fat in the body, causing obesity, and can also increase blood lipids. Research has shown that fructose has a higher effect on increasing blood lipids than sucrose, and sucrose has a higher effect than starch. In countries such as the United States and Canada, the amount of sugar consumed can account for 15-20% of a person's daily energy intake, and the incidence of coronary heart disease is much higher than in other countries and regions. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the total intake of carbohydrates, especially the intake of sugar, and it is generally recommended not to exceed 10% of the total energy intake.

  4. Increase the intake of dietary fiber appropriately. Dietary fiber can absorb cholesterol, prevent the absorption of cholesterol by the human body, and promote the excretion of bile acids from feces, reducing the body's production of cholesterol, and thus can lower blood cholesterol levels. Therefore, there should be sufficient dietary fiber in the diet for the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.

  5. Provide abundant vitamins. Vitamin C can promote the formation of bile acids from cholesterol, thus lowering blood cholesterol levels; it can also improve coronary circulation and protect the vascular wall. Niacin can dilate peripheral blood vessels, prevent thrombosis; it can also lower the level of triglycerides in the blood. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties, can prevent the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, protect the myocardium and improve myocardial hypoxia, and prevent thrombosis.

  6. Ensure the supply of essential inorganic salts and trace elements. Iodine can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol by the intestines, reduce the deposition of cholesterol on the vascular wall, and thus can slow down or stop the development of atherosclerosis. Eating seaweed and purple seaweed, which are rich in iodine, can reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease. The dietary calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, copper, and chromium are also related to the incidence of coronary heart disease.

  7. Eat small and frequent meals, avoid overeating, and do not eat too heavily at dinner, otherwise, it is easy to trigger an acute myocardial infarction.

  8. Abstain from strong alcohol. Alcohol can increase heart rate and worsen myocardial hypoxia, so alcohol should be avoided.

5. What laboratory tests need to be done for insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract?

  1. Endoscopic examination:Endoscopy is an optical instrument, which is sent into the body through the natural cavity of the human body from the outside, and is used to examine diseases inside the body. It can directly observe the lesions inside the organ cavity, determine their location and scope, and can also take photographs, perform biopsies, or brush samples, greatly improving the accuracy of cancer diagnosis, and can also perform certain treatments. The optical fiber endoscope system uses optical fibers to transmit cold light sources, has a small diameter, and can be bent, resulting in less pain for the patient during the examination.

  2. X-ray examination:Gastrointestinal X-ray examination shows that the movement of the entire gastrointestinal tract accelerates, the colon pouches deepen, the tension increases, and sometimes a linear shadow is present below the descending colon due to colonic spasm. The colonoscopy examination shows no obvious abnormalities in the colon mucosa.

  3, Fecal Examination:When collecting fecal specimens, it is generally first to the laboratory to obtain a waxed small box, and at home, you can use a paper box or plastic box. Prepare a clean stick for collecting feces. If it is a watery stool, it can be first excreted in a clean basin and then poured into a clean bottle for inspection.

  4, Gastric Juice Analysis:The secretion of gastric juice is most affected by food. The normal amount of gastric juice during fasting is about 30 to 50 ml. The amount of gastric juice increases significantly when not eating, indicating excessive gastric secretion and reduced gastric motility. For example, during a gastroscopy, some patients have a large amount of fluid in the stomach, some are colorless and transparent foamy, some are turbid and sticky, and some are yellow-green. All these situations indicate the presence of gastric diseases.

 

6. Dietary taboos for patients with insufficient gastrointestinal blood supply

  In general, the diet should be light, with less spicy, fried, grilled, fried, strong alcohol, and other indigestible and stimulating foods. Eat more fruits, vegetables, and fibrous foods, drink more water, and avoid three whites (sugar, salt, lard) in diet and approach three blacks (sesame seeds, mushrooms, black rice) to increase nutrition. Eat more protein-rich foods such as beans, dairy products, eggs, and lean meat.
