text Gastritis

 
 
Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach. It can be caused by infection, irritation, autoimmune disorders, or backflow of bile into the stomach (bile reflux). Infections can be bacterial or viral. Irritation can be caused by medications (such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs), alcohol, chronic vomiting, excess gastric acid secretion (such as from stress), or eating or drinking caustic or corrosive substances (such as poisons). Gastritis can occur suddenly (acute gastritis) or gradually (chronic gastritis).

Avoid long-term use of irritants (such as aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol).
We advise you start by drinking milk as soon as you feel these symptoms, like hiccups, abdominal indigestion, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, vomiting blood or coffee-ground like material, dark stools, and sharp pains in the stomach.
