A member asked:

Why would doc say it's acute gastritis and not gallstones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difference between 2: Acute gastritis refers to sudden inflammation in the wall of the stomach. It is most commonly caused by medications (NSAIDS), infection (H. Pylori) or excessive alcohol consumption. Pain is often in the upper abdomen. Inflammation from gallstones (cholecystitis) usually causes pain in the right upper abdomen, under the ribs. Pain is worst after eating fatty meals. Speak to your doc.
