What Is Gastritis?
3. Medication
Some types of medication will also leave the patient more likely to develop gastritis. This typically includes the use of certain painkillers like ibuprofen, which is readily available without a prescription. These can increase the likelihood of gastritis because they affect the production of a substance that helps to protect the stomach lining from our digestive juices.
Excessive alcohol consumption will also make it more likely that somebody will develop gastritis. This is because too much alcohol will irritate the lining of the stomach, potentially causing it to become inflamed. Excess alcohol consumption can also lead to other potentially severe health conditions.
