Possible gastritis: It sounds like the lining of your stomach may be irritated. You may have gastritis which can be caused by taking too many Motrin like medications, aspirin, (but not Tylenol), it can also be caused by a bacterial called Helicobacter pylori that people pick up through fecal-oral spread (poor hand washing). Try taking an over the counter medication like Pepcid (famotidine) 20 mg twice a day and go see your doctor
