Hello,
Chronic gastritis. Bacteria, consuming too much alcohol, certain medications, chronic stress, or other immune system problems can lead to inflammation. When inflammation occurs, your stomach lining changes and loses some of its protective cells. It may also cause early satiety.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
