Gastritis

Inflammation of the lining of the stomach is known as Gastritis. It is caused by many things including excessive alcohol consumption, long term use of anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen, or a bacterial infection. It can also develop following surgery, traumatic injury, burns or certain diseases. The major symptom is stomach pain, although indigestion, abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting, or a feeling of fullness or burning in the stomach can also occur.
