Your stomach has a protective lining of mucus called the mucosa. This lining protects your stomach from the strong stomach acid that digests food. When something damages or weakens this protective lining, the mucosa becomes inflamed, causing gastritis. A type of bacteria called helicobacter pylori is the most common bacterial cause of gastritis. Your risk of developing gastritis goes up with age. Older adults have thinner stomach linings, decreased circulation and slower metabolism and mucosal repair. Older adults are also more likely to be on medications that can cause gastritis. About two-thirds of the world's population is infected. Fortunately, it is less common in the United States. In the United States, H. pylori is found more often in older adults and lower socioeconomic groups. Most cases of gastritis improve quickly with treatment. For most people, medications relieve gastritis. Your healthcare provider will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on what’s causing gastritis. Antacids reduce stomach acid, while antibiotics clear up bacterial infections.
