Gastritis can develop whenever the stomach's protective layer becomes weakened or damaged. A mucus-lined barrier protects the walls of your stomach from the acids that help digest your food. Weakness would allow acids to damage your stomach.

The following can cause gastritis:

  1. Bacterial infection
  2. Bile reflux disease
  3. Excessive alcohol use
  4. Overuse of pain relievers
  5. Stress (which causes 99.9% of everything)

The following are some of the symptoms that patients with Gastritis will experience. Pain in the abdomen Irritable bowel syndrome and indigestion on a regular basis Nausea Vomiting Stomach discomfort Stool with blood in it Appetite loss. Hiccups on a regular basis The symptoms vary from person to person, and in some chronic cases, the patient exhibits the majority of the above symptoms. Causes of Gastritis Overindulgence in alcoholic beverages Vomiting that is persistent Uncontrolled use of anti-inflammatory drugs or medication Physical and mental stress Poor eating habits Unsanitary living conditions can lead to bacterial and viral infections. Backflow of bile into the stomach is another factor that contributes to the onset of Gastritis. Bile reflux is the medical term for this. Gastritis can also be caused by a bacteria called H. Pylori. This particular bacteria is commonly found in the mucus that lines the stomach's lining. When there is an overabundance of these bacteria, it can cause this problem, which, if left untreated, can progress to stomach cancer in later stages.
