10 Gastritis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Diarrhea
Diarrhea occurs when there is loose stool that occurs three or more times a day. Acute gastritis can be caused by bacterial infection, viral infection, stress, alcohol, medication, and more. Since the stomach lining is inflamed affecting the digesting capabilities, the foods that are ingested may not be able to be broken down properly.
This may result in diarrhea. If there is no fever, you may take anti-diarrheal medication such as loperamide. However, it is best to consult with your doctor before taking it as it may interact with any existing medications you are currently taking.
