• Nausea

TYPES OF GASTROPATHY

There are numerous potential causes of gastropathy, some of which can occasionally result from:

1.GASTRITIS

It is a condition that frequently results from an infection of the stomach’s lining.Helicobacter pyloriIt can appear slowly or suddenly, be brought on by certain medications or excessive alcohol consumption, and if untreated, may result in stomach ulcers.

2.GASTROPARAESIS

Gastroparesis is a condition in which the stomach muscles do not function properly to push food through the digestive tract, preventing the stomach from emptying itself, which can slow or even stop the digestion process and result in a feeling of extreme fullness and sickness in the stomach, even after a recent meal. Gastroparesis is frequently linked to neurological damage brought on by chronic conditions like diabetes.

GASTROENTERITIS

Another name for the stomach flu or stomach bug is gastroenteritis, which is typically brought on by a viral or bacterial infection and typically spreads through contaminated food or contact with someone who has the illness.
