5. Vomiting and Regurgitation: Beyond the Normal Upset
While vomiting is a body’s mechanism to expel harmful substances, frequent episodes, especially without an identifiable cause like food poisoning, are concerning.
Chronic gastritis can lead to severe nausea, which in turn can result in vomiting. Additionally, the inflammation and potential acid imbalance can lead to regurgitation or the backward flow of stomach contents.
An occasional episode post a questionable meal is one thing. But frequent, unexplained episodes, especially if they’re accompanied by other symptoms on this list, need attention. It’s not just about the discomfort but also the potential harm from regular acid exposure.
Regular vomiting or regurgitation episodes warrant a medical consultation. Addressing the root cause can provide relief and prevent potential complications from repeated acid exposure to the esophagus and oral cavity. (5)
