HEALTH TIP

Gastritis

 Weakness in your stomach lining allows digestive juices to damage and inflame it, causing gastritis. Having a thin or damaged stomach lining raises your risk for gastritis. Also, certain conditions and activities increase your risk for developing gastritis. 

A gastrointestinal bacterial infection can cause gastritis. The most common is infection with Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that infects the lining of the stomach. It’s usually passed from person-to-person, but it can also be transmitted through contaminated food or water.

Other risk factors include:

• extreme alcohol consumption
• routine use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and aspirin
• cocaine use
• age, because the stomach lining thins naturally with age

Other, less common, risk factors are:

• stress caused by severe injury, illness, or surgery
• autoimmune disorders
• digestive disorders like Crohn’s disease
• viral infections

Gastritis doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms in everyone, but the most common symptoms are:

• nausea and vomiting
• a feeling of fullness in your upper abdomen, particularly after eating
• indigestion

If you have erosive gastritis, you might experience different symptoms, including:

• black, tarry stool
• vomiting of blood or material that looks like coffee grounds
