Does gastritis cause diarrhea?

Gastritis may lead to diarrhea. When

gastritis occurs, the gastric mucosa may show symptoms of congestion and edema under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, which may further lead to abnormal gastric function. When the gastric mucosa cannot digest and absorb water and various nutrients in food, gastric contents may enter the patient's intestinal tract and stimulate the intestinal mucosa, resulting in diarrhea symptoms.

Patients with gastritis may take omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, lansoprazole enteric-coated capsules and other drugs as prescribed to protect the gastric mucosa and help relieve abdominal discomfort.
