Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining, which can be short-term (acute) or long-lasting (chronic).
It can range from mild cases with no symptoms to severe forms causing indigestion, nausea, bloating, loss of appetite, or even stomach bleeding.
Common causes include medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen, heavy alcohol consumption, and infections like H. pylori.
Other less common triggers include autoimmune disorders, bile reflux, the consumption of harmful substances, or certain viral infections.
Treatment typically focuses on avoiding irritants and addressing H. pylori infection, while certain supplements can help protect and heal the stomach lining.
