What is Gastritis ???

About Gastritis

Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach

lining. Many things can cause gastritis. Most

often the cause is infection with the same

bacteria -- helicobacter pylori -- that

causes stomach ulcers. An autoimmune

disorder, a backup of bile into the stomach,

or long term use of nonsteroidal anti-

inflammatory drugs (nsaids), such as

ibuprofen, can also cause gastritis.

In some cases, the stomach lining may

be "eaten away," leading to sores

(peptic ulcers) in the stomach or first

part of the small intestine. Gastritis can

occur suddenly (acute gastritis) or

gradually (chronic gastritis). In most

cases, gastritis does not permanently

damage the stomach lining.
