gastritis
Let an agent explain gastritis and its types and causes, relay general information on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention from health bodies, and route personal medical questions to clinicians and emergencies to services.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain gastritis and its types and causes, relay general information on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention from health bodies, and route personal medical questions to clinicians and emergencies to services.
Inflammation of the lining of the stomach, occurring as acute or chronic gastritis, caused most commonly by Helicobacter pylori infection, by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and alcohol, by autoimmune attack on stomach cells, and less often by viral infection or other conditions, sometimes extending to the duodenum as gastroduodenitis and appearing in forms such as nodular gastritis; gastritis may cause pain, nausea and indigestion or no symptoms, and is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy and treated according to cause.
What it is for: Inflammation of the stomach lining.
It can be explain types and causes; relay symptom and treatment information; describe prevention; route personal questions.
Distinguishing features
Mucosal inflammation
Helicobacter link
Acute and chronic forms
Endoscopic diagnosis
What it looks like
Not physical as a concept; inflamed mucosa seen at endoscopy.
How it is recognised
Inflammation of the stomach lining
Acute or chronic, infectious, drug-related or autoimmune
Gastroenteritis affects stomach and intestines with infection; a peptic ulcer is a break in the lining
