Gastritis

Gastritis is when your stomach feels angry and irritated because something is bothering it. It's like when you get a boo-boo on your skin and it hurts and turns red. Your stomach can get a boo-boo too, and that's called gastritis.

Sometimes it happens because you ate something that your stomach didn't like, like spicy food or too much of something that is hard to digest. Other times, it's because there is a bacteria in your stomach called H. pylori that is making your stomach unhappy.

When someone has gastritis, they might feel pain in their stomach or have an upset stomach. They might also feel like they need to throw up or have gas. Sometimes, people with gastritis have to take medicine to help their stomach feel better, and they might have to avoid certain foods that bother their stomach.

It's important to take care of your stomach by eating healthy food, drinking plenty of water, and not eating too much junk food. By doing these things, you can help your stomach stay happy and healthy!
