It can last for many days at times or for longer. Symptoms include pain and discomfort, sometimes severe pain. If the issue is not addressed in a timely manner, it may develop into a chronic medical condition that makes weight gain problematic and may require you to stick to a diet plan. As a result, to address the issue at its core, it is necessary to understand the causes, signs, and remedies covered in this blog. What Is Gastritis? Gastritis is a medical condition characterised by inflammation, irritation, or stomach lining erosion. It can be acute, which occurs suddenly and lasts for a short time, or chronic, which develops gradually and lasts for a long time. There are several factors causing gastritis, including infection with the bacteria H. pylori, excessive alcohol consumption, chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and stress. Gastritis symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, swollen stomach, and loss of appetite. Its treatment may involve medications to reduce inflammation or acid production in the stomach, avoiding irritants like alcohol and NSAIDs, and following a healthy diet. What Are The Causes Of Gastritis? Gastritis happens due to several factors. Sometimes, the reason is simple, and sometimes it is complex to be identified. So, let us look at some known causes of gastritis below: 1. H pylori Infection The infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria is one of the primary causes of gastritis. 2.NSAIDs- Chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen, can irritate the stomach lining and cause gastritis.

  2. 3. Alcohol- Excessive alcohol consumption can irritate the stomach lining and increase stomach acid production. 4. Stress- Stress can be another reason for the rising stomach acid production and cause stomach lining inflammation. 5. Bile Reflux- Bile reflux occurs when bile from the small intestine flows back into the stomach, irritating its lining to cause gastritis. 6. Autoimmune Disorder- Autoimmune disorders, in which the immune system attacks the stomach lining cells, can also cause gastritis. 7. Viral Infections- Viral infections, such as herpes simplex or cytomegalovirus, can cause acute gastritis. 8. Crohn's Disease or other chronic inflammatory conditions can lead to chronic gastritis. 9. Spicy Food- Spicy food sometimes irritates the stomach lining and increases stomach acid production and pain. 10. Indigestion- Indigestion will cause regurgitation, leading to gastritis. What Are The Symptoms Of Gastritis? Although gastritis symptoms may vary from mild to severe and are very much person-specific. Here are some common signs of gastritis: 1. Abdominal pain or discomfort 2. Nausea or vomiting 3. Loss of appetite 4. Bloating or feeling of fullness after eating 5.Belching or flatulence 6. Heartburn or acid reflux 7. Indigestion

Also, the severity of symptoms can vary from person to person. If you suspect gastritis, contact a professional for proper diagnosis and treatment, where they might suggest the following things: 1. Medications Antacids These medications can help neutralise stomach acid and relieve symptoms like heartburn and indigestion. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)- These medications reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, which can help reduce inflammation and promote healing of the stomach lining. H. pylori Eradication Therapy- In this treatment, you get a combination of antibiotics and acid-reducing medications to eliminate H. pylori bacteria, which can be a common cause of gastritis.Histamine-2 (H2) Receptor Blockers- These medications can also reduce the amount of acid the stomach produces. Cytoprotective Agents medications help protect the stomach lining and promote healing. 2. Self-Care Measures Rest and stay hydrated- Getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated can help the stomach lining heal. Quit smoking- As smoking can worsen gastritis symptoms, quitting smoking can be beneficial.
