5. You have inflammatory bowel disease
Those who deal with inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn’s are more prone to develop gastritis. According to Dr. Ivanina, when you struggle with Crohn’s disease, not only your stomach is affected but your entire GI tract.
In general, Crohn’s disease appears at the end of the small bowel and the start of your colon; however, it can affect your body anywhere from the anus to the mouth. People with Crohn’s disease often experience abdominal cramping, chronic diarrhea, constipation, and even rectal bleeding.
As soon as you spot any of these symptoms, don’t hesitate, call your doctor!
