gastritis
Inflamed digestive lining
Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining.
It causes symptoms like nausea, indigestion, and burning pain in the upper abdomen.
Gastritis can be acute—from alcohol, painkillers, or infection—or chronic, developing gradually over time.
The doctor said my gastritis was caused by too much ibuprofen.
