A member asked:
Can you please tell me why fatty food makes gastritis/indigestion worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fat and acid: Fat delays stomach emptying and causes the stomach to make more acid to help digestion. The increase in stomach acid can irritate an area of the stomach that is already irritated ( gastritis).
