Stomach Problems - Gastritis

Gastritis has many causes.   Recent research has found that the majority of cases is due to bacteria which grows in the mucous secreting cells of the lining.  

An "Itis" anywhere in the body means inflammation. Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach.  This inflammation results in the destruction of the upper layer of cells of the stomach lining.    Erosion of this protective layer opens the underlying layers of the stomach vulnerable to damage - from the enzymes and acid of the stomach itself which can effect gastric functions. 

Chronic gastritis develops gradually and can come from certain drugs that irritate the stomach lining (especially the non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSIDs) as well as infections both bacterial and viral.
