Gastritis isn’t a modern disease, just a lot of distinct conditions that entirely consists of inflammation of the stomach. Gastritis may be induced by imbibing a bit too much alcohol, extended usage of regular medication containing aspirin or ibuprofen, or by transmission of an infection such as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Occasionally gastritis arises after a major surgical operation, traumatic wounds, burns to the body, or life-threatening infections. Some illnesses, such as pernicious anemia, and chronic bile reflux may stimulate gastritis also.

The basic symptoms are gastro-intestinal upset or pain. Additional symptoms are a bloated feeling, nausea, or vomiting. Some people who suffer from Gastritis complain of a full feeling in the stomach, or a burning pain in the upper chest. In serious cases, pink vomit, bright red blood in vomit, or black stools possibly can be a signal of hemorrhage in the stomach. As previously stated, this is a serious problem, and a health care should be sought immediately.
