Inflammation: Any type of inflammation or irritation of the inner lining of the stomach is called gastritis. This can be due to an ulcer, cancer, a tube rubbing on the stomach, or an infection like h. Pylori. The cause must be determined so that the right therapy can be suggested. An endoscopy is often helpful in determining the cause.
