Symptom #1: Pain
The commonest symptom of gastritis is abdominal pain that can range from moderate to severe. Due to the innervations and location of the stomach in the body, the pain is usually located in the upper part of the abdomen, in the midline. The pain can usually be described as a gnawing, dull, and aching pain while some have also reported sharp and shooting pain. The pain is not relieved with change of position. It can be aggravated by certain foods especially acidic foods. Antacids are usually effective in relieving the pain, even if not completely.
