Not all individuals who have gastritis will experience symptoms. However, the symptoms that do exist for the condition are similar to other inflammatory responses in the stomach. Why? Well, because the stomach lining is inflamed, it can wear down. The acid in the stomach then increases discomfort, often presenting as heartburn or indigestion.
Symptoms
- Heartburn or indigestion in the upper stomach
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
