Gastritis is a common term which features the lining of the stomach having inflammation. This is mostly caused by the harmful bacteria that is also responsible for stomach ulcers in your body.
There is a barrier lined with mucus which protects the stomach wall. Damage of this barrier paves way for the digestive juices to inflame the stomach lining. People having sarcoidosis and Crohn’s disease suffer from gastritis more.
If you are in the habit of taking too many pain relievers or an excessive amount of alcohol, then chances are that you might be suffering from gastritis. There are mostly two types of gastritis - acute gastritis which occurs all of a sudden and chronic gastritis which develops slowly over time.
It is not a serious health issue and improves most of the time with proper treatment and good food habits. However, in a few extreme cases, gastritis might lead to stomach ulcers which might lead to stomach cancer.
Symptoms of gastritis
Nearly every person suffers from bouts of stomach irritation and indigestion. Most of these have a short span and you get over it with just a medicine. But if your stomach discomfort increases with passing time, it is advisable to go to a doctor.
With extreme symptoms, you might even end up throwing up blood or have blood pass in your stools and calls for medical attention immediately.

# A burning pain in the upper part of your abdomen that might turn worse with eating
