What causes acute gastritis?

Answer:
Gastritis can develop whenever the stomach's protective layer becomes weakened or damaged. A mucus-lined barrier protects the walls of your stomach from the acids that help digest your food. Weakness would allow acids to damage your stomach.

The following can cause gastritis:
  1. Bacterial infection
  2. Bile reflux disease
  3. Excessive alcohol use
  4. Overuse of pain relievers
  5. Stress (which causes 99.9% of everything)
