"Pain from gastritis is usually located in the top of the abdomen. Sharp pain in this area could be a clue that the stomach is inflamed."

"When you feel pain in your stomach or abdominal area, pay attention. Although the pain may be related to gas or a little bit of acid reflux, pain could be a sign of a serious problem."

"Hydration is so key... You always want to make sure you're keeping yourself hydrated. That's important both when you're eating and particularly if you decide to have an alcoholic beverage. Just the more you hydrate, the less likely you are to feel bloated and full and it's also going to stop you from wanting to put more things in there. You'll feel more full and more satiated."
