Brief Answer:
Rigorous exercise, running continuously can results in such problems
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXX,
Thank you for posting your health query on healthcaremagic.com,
I have carefully studied your question and understand your problem.
I would like to answer your question first. That is, what kind of exercises can cause gastritis?
The answer is, any exercise if done wrongly and for prolonged periods and excessively may cause gastritis.
But, this type of exercise induced gastritis is most commonly seen in long distance runners (marathon runners). And excessive aerobic exercises.
The exact mechanism is not well understood, but the studies done on this indicate that the blood flow is reduced by more than 50% to the GIT, so this ischemia may cause gastric ulcers and gastric bleeding.
Another mechanism is by increased physical stress which causes excessive acidic secretion.
So the suggestion to you is, don't overdo anything, moderate amounts exercise with adequate rest in between.
Now, I would like to inform you that there is nothing like 'pitta' that concept is unscientific and useless when it comes to dealing with your medical problems.
I hope you will not fall for pseudo scientific propaganda.
I think I have answered your question, if you have any doubts, I will be happy to help you out.
Best regards
