NO: NEITHER STRESS NOR NO EATING for a few days CAUSES Gastitis!! Stress is a factor but a combination of decreased resistance to ACID plus in many cases a BACTERIAL infection (H PYLORI) are the major causes of gastritis! BTW "STRESS" CERTAINLY does NOT HELP! Consult with your Primary Care Provider! Hope this helps Dr Z
