Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach mucosa. It happens due to helicobacter pylori a bacterial infection, smoking, alcohol, and also certain medicines like Aspirin. The presence of diverticulum also causes gastritis. Avoid spicy and fried junk foods, and quit smoking and drinking if you have these habits. There may be a need for surgical removal of the diverticulum.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
