Any factor that injures the wall of stomach provokes the symptoms of gastritis. The condition is commonly observed in alcoholics, smokers, people living in a stressful and competitive environment, or people consuming spicy food. The recent research has also shown strong association between gastritis and infection with bacteria H. Pylori (Helicobacter Pylori).
