Generally speaking, there are some differences between the typical symptoms of gastritis and gastric ulcer. For example, gastritis will have persistent abdominal pain, and it is often accompanied by complications such as vomiting and diarrhea. The stomach pain attack of gastric ulcer is sudden and will not have much influence on digestion. However, due to the great overlap of symptoms between gastritis and gastric ulcer, it is impossible to clearly distinguish gastric ulcer from gastritis only by patients' own feelings, mainly according to clinical symptoms, combined with gastroscopy or barium meal examination of upper digestive tract. The symptoms of gastritis are atypical, but some patients with gastric ulcer may have regular epigastric pain, most of which are more obvious after meals.

Whether it is patients with gastric ulcer or gastritis, it is suggested to go to the hospital in time, and treat according to the doctor's advice according to the specific condition, so as not to delay the diagnosis and treatment, and pay attention to regular review of gastroscope. Maintain good eating habits at ordinary times, avoid using drugs that are irritating to gastric mucosa, eat less and eat more meals, avoid overeating, avoid foods that are difficult to digest, such as fried, cold, greasy, irritating, spicy, too sweet and sour, and avoid alcohol, tobacco, strong tea and coffee.
