Gastritis is the inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach, sometimes accompanied by more or less severe constitutional
manifestations. Gastritis is a condition that has many causes. Common to all people with gastritis is pain or discomfort in
the upper part of the belly (abdomen), sometimes called dyspepsia.
Diet, such as improper food; too hot or too cold food or drink; spoiled or too highly seasoned foods, canned goods and spoiled
meats. To be a little more explicit. The poisoning will produce gastric fever with typhoid and septic symptoms.
Symptoms of gastritis do not always correspond to the extent of physical changes in the lining of the stomach.
* The stomach lining can be examined with an endoscope, a thin probe with a tiny camera on the end that can be inserted into
the stomach.
* Severe gastritis may be present when the stomach is viewed without symptoms being present.
* Severe gastritis symptoms may be present despite only minor changes in the stomach lining.
* Elderly people in particular have a much higher likelihood of developing painless stomach damage. They may have no symptoms
at all (no nausea, vomiting, pain) until they are suddenly taken ill with internal bleeding.
