After drinking tea, stomachache may be caused by indigestion, chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer and other reasons.
1. Indigestion.
If tea is drunk after meals, tea dilutes gastric juice, which will affect digestion. Food cannot be emptied in time, which will lead to gastric dilation.
2. Chronic gastritis
causes inflammatory damage to gastric mucosa. If drinking strong tea promotes gastric acid secretion, gastric juice can stimulate damaged gastric mucosa and cause stomachache.
3. Gastric ulcer
has ulcer surface in stomach. Theophylline substances in tea will stimulate ulcer surface, so there will be stomachache.
