In addition, during eating, pain in the stomach can increase. Moreover, some products that are easily digested, such as milk or eggs, do not cause these sensations, while others that contain a large amount of acid, on the contrary, increase discomfort.
Often, symptoms of gastritis appear as an upset stomach or heartburn (an unpleasant burning sensation in the chest, usually after eating). Some do not pay attention to these signs, alleviating the condition with the help of drugs, believing that they have nothing serious. However, without appropriate treatment, gastritis develops and can eventually manifest itself with much more serious symptoms.

Gastritis itself is not a dangerous disease, however, without appropriate treatment and correction, it can lead to complications such as ulcers, stomach cancer, and others.
This disease can be acute (develops quickly and lasts a short period of time), and can be chronic, when symptoms develop gradually, and seizures become systematic. In addition, the acidity of the stomach in this disease can be increased or decreased, depending on this, the symptoms, as well as the course and treatment of the disease, differ.

Gastritis with high acidity is characterized by frequent hungry pains in the abdomen, especially in the morning, which disappear after eating even the simplest food. There may also be heartburn and frequent burping, with a sour taste.
