While in the hospital a tube was put down my nose into my stomach where blood was present. An endoscopy was done the next day and although there was no blood in the asophogus I was told this was the reason for the blood and vomiting.this does not sound right to me.any info. that someone could give me would be appreciated.

gastric mucus gel layer and gastritis
Has anyone come across evidence that colonization by a microorganism in the mucus gel layer of the stomach induces infiltration of immune cells in the mucus gel? I've seen reports on the in vivo distribution of H. felis in the mucus gel of mice and that it induces mild gastritis, but it is unclear in the document where these immune cells are.

Classification and a review
The article breaks down gastritis into erosive vs non erosive. The issue is much more complicated than this. "CLASSIFICATION OF GASTRITIS AND GASTROPATHY — Several classifications of gastritis and gastropathy (such as the Sydney system) [5] have been proposed [5-10]. However, classification remains controversial because of gaps in knowledge of etiology and pathogenesis, variation in nomenclature, and the coexistence of more than one type of gastritis or gastropathy in individual patients. Thus, comparisons across studies using different nomenclature can be difficult. Most classification systems distinguish acute, short-term from chronic, long-term disease. The terms acute and chronic are also used to describe the type of inflammatory cell infiltrate. Acute inflammation is usually associated with neutrophilic infiltration, while chronic inflammation is usually characterized by mononuclear cells, chiefly lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages. A practical clinicopathologic framework for the classification of gastritis and gastropathy based upon these factors can be proposed (show table 1) [8]."http://www.uptodate.com/online/content/topic.do?topicKey=acidpep/7980&selectedTitle=2~150&source=search_result

It then adds H. Pylori to the non erosive category. The ref however says "H. pylori bacteria grow in the protective mucus layer of the stomach lining, where they are less exposed to the highly acidic juices produced by the stomach. Virtually all people who have H. pylori infection have gastritis, which may affect the entire stomach or only the lower part (antrum). Infection can sometimes lead to erosive gastritis. H. pylori contributes to ulcer formation by increasing acid production, interfering with the normal defenses against stomach acid, and producing toxins."http://www.merck.com/mmhe/sec09/ch121/ch121b.html

This page is dealing with a medical disease which mean the data on the topic is huge. And many of the references should refer to peer reviewed and published academic papers. Pubmed is a great source for abstract and will sometime give you the whole copy free. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez

"Other medicine" in the lead is very vague... Are we talking antibiotics? Are we taking H2 blockers, PPI...

No mention is made about cancer. "Metaplasia is highly relevant to the pathogenesis of atrophic gastritis and to its complications (eg, pernicious anemia, gastric ulcer, and gastric cancer)." -- Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

POV
One needs to write from a neutral POV. When one says "doctors may recommend". This is from the patients POV and should be avoided. One should rather say for example that PPI have been found to help however many people they help, but there are concerns about C. dif for example.-- Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

 * These are the requirements for FA, they can be added as the article is expanded, but they are not part of the GA criteria. Graham Colm Talk 12:19, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Graham, I agree but James' comment does indicate that there are some significant shortcomings to the article. JFW | T@lk  14:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I consider that for a topic to be covered broadly, which is a GA criteria, one must touch on all of these to some degree.  There is a great deal of good sources  available.  I have commented on other concerns above.-- Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 17:38, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Not currently suitable
I would strongly advise against this article being made GA. For one thing, the references are completely unsuitable per WP:MEDRS. Some of the language employed is overly lay-oriented (e.g. the use of "B12 shots" for vitamin B12 injections). Essential topics and terms are not covered, e.g. the concept of melaena is alluded to but the term is not identified. JFW | T@lk  14:42, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * About the reliability of the sources, if someone could tell me which ones, I will try and look for a more reliable source, such as from PubMed or a government site, that restates the information, or even if contradicts it. Thanks!--Llamoedu (talk) 04:03, 29 January 2009 (UTC) 04:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, it would be important to discuss whether chronic gastritis predisposes to gastric cancer. JFW | T@lk  14:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Agree and as this article still requires significant work I will have to fail at this point in time. -- Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 17:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Improvement needed!
I was using the gastritis page for study (in Medicine), but unfortunately I seriously think this page requires much more detailed information. At the moment, it just doesn't seem to be very useful for a medical student level. Many parts are written very ambiguously, and the "Causes" do not explain each type properly. If I ever find enough free time to rewrite this article, I would, but before then please help improve! Harrison's is always a good reference book to start with.

gastritis
hello this is rake i would like to ask if with gastritis is possible to have childrens and Can i eat young food? Is not dangerous for my stomach? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.237.78.214 (talk) 19:01, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Intro sentence needs some work.
The sentence which introduces this article reads "Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach, sike. It doesnt and has many possible causes."

Reads fine up to the word "stomach". Don't understand how the word "sike" fits into the context of this subject, and following with the sentence "it doesn't (which needs an apostrophe BTW) and has many possible causes", comes across as unprofessional and in any case, given the use of the word "sike" in the previous sentence, doesn't make sense anyway.

Something appears to be missing here, i.e., a description as to the possible causes of Gastritis or something that would provide context for the statement "....and has many possible causes". Otherwise I would omit everything after the word "stomach", and then follow that with the sentence that discusses possible causes.

Coffee as an irritant.
This article states that coffee would be an irritant to people with gastritis but the article does not clarify what elements of coffee would cause the problem. Is it the caffeine that is problematic? Can caffeine be taken in another form (not as coffee)? Please could someone clarify this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.195.240.74 (talk) 10:45, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Community
I deleted the new section Gastritis because Wikipedia is not a directory of links to other places on the web that are, to varying degrees, somehow related to the topic of an article. Editor Walidou47 reverted me with the edit summary Why can't it be a directory ?

It is not the purpose of the encyclopedia to recommend or endorse, in Wikipedia's own voice, any external site. Because it exists, this, or any, 'community' section bestows credibility on a particular social media site which Wikipedia is not qualified to do.

The section should be deleted.

Hi I undid your deletion becouse of the following points: First, I disagree with ur claim, Wikipedia is in part a directory of links to other places on the web which are related 100% to an article. Secondly I did not add a link, I added a useful information and wikipedia's articles principal goal is to give useful information to readers. My add is not about recommendation or endorsement. Finally, I disagree when you say that any "'community' section bestows credibility", this has nothing to do with credibility in my own process of tought but to the contrary useful information for readers only add to the credibility of an article. Walidou47 (talk) 19:31, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Replying to your points:
 * Sure, Wikipedia has a lot of links to a lot of external sources in reference lists that support text in en.wiki articles. A reference list is not a directory of links.  Articles may have an external links section; see WP:EL for details about the use of that and, for this particular case, note item 10 at WP:ELNO.
 * You did add a link as a malformed reference template (it was this malformed template that drew my attention to Gastritis):
 * I suppose that some people might think that there is value to be gained from a subredit but it is highly doubtful that a subredit constitutes a reliable authoritative source for a complex medical topic. A mention in en.wiki where all relevant information is supposed to be sourced to reliable sources will suggest to readers that en.wiki judges the subredit to be as reliable and authoritative as a peer-reviewed academic journal.  It is not.
 * The section should be deleted.

acute and active gastritis
Hi folks, so I'm reading in some papers and reviews that the two terms coincide and others negate that saying for exemple that: "The term acute gastritis is not specific for an etiology but is used to indicate gastritis with an acute clinical presentation, with symptoms that promptly resolve if the underlying condition is corrected. This term should not be confused with active gastritis, with the latter term indicating the presence of neutrophils." ref= Torbenson M. (2019) Common Types of Gastritis. In: Zhang L., Chandan V., Wu TT. (eds) Surgical Pathology of Non-neoplastic Gastrointestinal Diseases. Springer, Cham p122 I agree with making the two term distinct, and therefore changing the body text of acute gastritis and maybe adding something on active gastritis.

Cause
A classification of the gastritis could be great. Depending on the severeness, there is two types of gastritis. Knowing that is kinda important for the diagnosis and the treatments.Nandie2705 (talk) 11:22, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
