Patients with superficial gastritis who experience more intense pain should rule out whether there is some relationship with food. For example, they may have recently consumed more oily or spicy foods, such as chili peppers, onions, and garlic. Some people who consume milk or foods that produce too much gas, such as beans and soy products, may also experience a similar condition. If too much tobacco or alcohol is consumed, it may also induce severe abdominal pain. If a patient with superficial gastritis has more intense pain that persists and is accompanied by vomiting or back involvement pain, the presence of pancreatitis needs to be ruled out. The location of the stomach and pancreas may not be particularly clear, as they are located in close proximity to each other, and it is possible that most people may mistake an abdominal pain for an attack of gastritis and may miss the pancreas. Pancreatitis is a systemic disease, so it is recommended to go to the nearest hospital for professional treatment and examination when severe abdominal pain occurs, to prevent delays due to omission of the disease.
