Hmmmm: An inflammation or irritation of your stomach lining. Could be from food, medicine, infection, or over secretion of acid by your body. It will heal with appropriate therapy but it could alway flare back up.

Stomach inflammation: Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach. It can be caused by acid overproduction, infection, and in rare cases malignancy. It can usually be treated with an acid reducing medication. While there are some surgical procedures, medical therapy is first line and is usually successful.

Inflammation: Gastritis is inflammation of the lining of the stomach, commonly due to drugs, e.g. aspirin, infection (Helicobacter), or acid induced. Gastritis is certainly reversible if the underlying cause is addressed. Surgery is reserved for only severe complications such as perforation or bleeding, and is not commonly needed.
