Feedback:
Acute gastritis refers to a transient inflammation of the gastric mucosa that is most commonly associated with local irritants such as bacterial endotoxins, alcohol, or aspirin. Gastritis associated with excessive alcohol consumption often causes transient gastric distress, which may lead to vomiting, bleeding, and hematemesis. Allergic response to ingested substances may cause acute itching, rash, vomiting, or diarrhea. Gastric reflux causes esophageal inflammation rather than gastritis.
