What is gastritis?

A condition where the stomach's surface lining is damaged, causing abdominal pain and discomfort. Causes include stress, overeating, excessive alcohol intake, and infection with the H. pylori bacteria.

Symptoms of gastritis

  • Upset tummy / upper abdominal discomfort

  • Upper central abdominal pain

  • Heartburn; painful burning feeling in the chest or throat

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Abdominal pain

  • Abdominal discomfort

Questions your doctor may ask to check for gastritis

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose gastritis

  • Do you have discomfort (but not pain) around the upper part of your abdomen /stomach? Such as an upset tummy?

  • Do you have pain in the pit of the stomach (top middle of the abdomen)?

  • Do you have heartburn?

  • Do you have nausea or vomiting?

  • Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?

Treatment for gastritis

Treatment helps the stomach heal. The doctor may prescribe drugs to reduce gastric acid levels and antibiotics to kill the H.pylori bacteria. Some patients may find relief through lifestyle changes like regular meal patterns, avoiding alcohol and spicy food, and stopping medicines that affect the stomach lining.
