Bile Reflux Treatment in Johor Bahru

Refluks Hempedu

Bile reflux occurs when bile — a digestive fluid produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder — flows backward into the stomach and oesophagus. Unlike acid reflux which involves stomach acid, bile reflux is caused by a defect in the pyloric valve between the stomach and small intestine. It frequently coexists with acid reflux (GERD) and can cause significant upper abdominal pain and nausea. It is more common after gallbladder surgery or stomach surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between acid reflux and bile reflux?▼

Acid reflux involves stomach acid backing up into the oesophagus, causing heartburn. Bile reflux involves bile from the small intestine backing up into the stomach — it causes upper abdominal burning and nausea, and antacids provide less relief. Both can coexist.

Can bile reflux damage the stomach?▼

Yes. Chronic bile reflux can cause bile reflux gastritis (stomach inflammation), increase the risk of Barrett oesophagus, and in rare cases contribute to stomach cancer with very long-term untreated exposure. Early treatment is important.
