Can superficial gastritis cause diarrhea?

Superficial gastritis does not usually cause diarrhea.
Superficial gastritis generally refers to non-atrophic gastritis, most of which is caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, and it mainly causes stomach discomfort, such as epigastric pain, bloating, postprandial satiety, early satiety, loss of appetite, acid reflux, nausea, and so on.
Some patients may experience some systemic symptoms, such as lethargy, fatigue, forgetfulness, anxiety, etc. However, this disease usually does not affect the intestinal tract, and there are rarely any symptoms of diarrhea.
