it could be gastritis, but it could be many other things... gastritis can only be diagnosed by an upper endoscopy with biopsies of the stomach.
You could also have SIBO, IBS, sprue, H Pylori infection, etc. But i would suggest you starting with some over the counter probiotics, and also simethicone (gas X), and see what happens, if no improvement then go to see a gastroenterologist.

hi.. since you are only 30 and is not telling about any other diseases like diabetes or hypertension its most probably gastritis only for which you should take drugs to control acidity and flatulence.. cap. omez 20mg 30 min before breakfast (once daily) will do...
