Best Answer

Due to the amount of nerve endings in the stomach and the surface area that it can cover it is possible for mild gastritis to be very painful. The pain should be felt in the upper stomach region at or below the bottom of the rib cage and above the belly button. Most gastritis pain is diffuse for mild cases, meaning it is usually not a sharp stabbing pain which could be indicative of a ulcer. See a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
