CHRONIC GASTRITIS

There are no characteristic peculiarities associated with gastritis when it becomes chronic. There is no advantage in differentiating the chronic from the acute. The symptoms are somewhat less severe, and run a longer course. There is vomiting following meals. Between meals there will be a regurgitation of the food. This form of indigestion is not common among infants but may be found with older children. The most prominent symptom is that of malnutrition. There is restlessness at night, loss of appetite, constant loss of weight and anemia.
