Doctor's answer:

Chronic gastritis is usually caused by redness and swelling of the gastric mucosa, which can easily lead to symptoms such as stomach acid and bloating. Generally, oral medications that inhibit stomach acid secretion can be used for treatment. It is important to follow a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
