Gastritis is an inflammation of the mucus membrane that lines the stomach. Acute gastritis is characterized by a sudden attack. It may cause erosions in the stomach lining that bleed easily.
Chronic gastritis develops over a longer period.
It can result from prolonged irritation of the stomach by alcohol, tobacco smoke, or bile. This may cause blood to continually ooze from the stomach lining. Avoid alcohol and smoking. Restore balance to your system. Get proper nutrition.
