Gastritis is an inflammation, irritation, or erosion of the lining of the stomach. It can occur suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic).There is inflammation because there is too much secretion of gastric juices. Acute gastritis involves sudden, severe inflammation.

It typically doesn’t cause much inflammation, but it can lead to bleeding and ulcers in the lining of the stomach.
