Understanding Gastric Infection Further
Gastric infection is inflammation of the stomach wall. This inflammation begins with an imbalance of stomach acid which then attacks and erodes the stomach wall back. Gastric wall eroded by gastric acid can become sores or ulcers. If left unchecked, this condition can lead to infection caused by H. pylori bacteria. Below are some more complete explanations of how gastric infections occur, how they are symptoms, and what hazards can occur. How does gastric infection occur? Stomach basically produces acids that function to digest food, but it also kills bacteria in the stomach. So that the stomach wall is not damaged due to stomach acid, the stomach produces mucus as a natural protector. The amount of protective mucus and stomach acid in normal circumstances is balanced.
