Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach living. Many things can cause gastritis. Most often the cause is infection with the same bacteria-Helicobacter Pyloui-that causes stomach ulcers.
An autoimmune disorder, a backup of bile into the stomach, or long term use of non steroidal anti-Inflammmatory drugs (NSAID’s) such as icupuojen, can also cause gestritis. In some cases, the stomach living may be “eaten away’, rading to sours (peptic ulcers) in the stomach on first, out of the small intestine. Gastritis can occur suddenly (acute gastritis) or gradually (chronic gastritis). In most cases, gastritis does not permanently damage the stomach living.
