What causes gastritis?

Symptoms of gastritis:

• Indigestion 

• Vomiting (especially yellow or green fluid) 

• Nausea 

• Low appetite 

• Abdominal pain (especially in the upper part) 

• Burning (especially at night and in between meals)

An easy way to tell if you may have gastritis is to take apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride and see if you feel worse. If you get worse, you may either have gastritis or an ulcer. If you feel better, it may have been a lack of acid causing the problem in the first place. 

Potential causes of gastritis: • Alcohol  • Aspirin  • NSAIDS  • H. pylori  • Cortisol  • Bile
