Gastritis

Food in the stomach is broken down by digestive juices. The stomach itself is protected from these digestive juices by a mucous lining. Gastritis is a common condition of the gastrointestinal system, characterized by inflammation or irritation of the stomach’s lining caused by weakness in the mucous lining. Gastritis can be caused by stress, excess alcohol consumption, certain medicines and bacterial/viral infections.

Gastritis can be chronic (develop over time) or acute (occur suddenly). The symptoms may include bloating, indigestion, loss of appetite, burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen.

Your doctor may recommend some diagnostic tests to confirm the cause of gastritis. These can include:

Stool Test: to determine the presence of blood in stools and the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Blood Test: to determine the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection and red blood cell count
Barium Swallow or Upper Gastrointestinal Series: You will be asked to swallow a white liquid (barium) that coats your digestive tract.
