Stomach Inflammation Symptoms, Causes and More
Understanding Acute and Chronic Gastritis
While they may seem like interchangeable terms, acute and chronic gastritis are quite different. Acute gastritis is caused by an infection or temporary inflammation of the stomach. It can commonly be resolved with the right diet or medication or a combination of both.
Chronic gastritis refers to long-term damage. This type of inflammation of the stomach lining requires a different approach to care, as it may lead to anemia because the body is unable to absorb Vitamin B12. Chronic gastritis may seem serious, but it usually doesn't cause too much discomfort or pain.
