Hello,
Gastritis refers to inflammation of the lining of your stomach, which is also near the left side of your rib cage. Other symptoms of gastritis include burning pain in your stomach and an uncomfortable sense of fullness in your upper abdomen. Gastritis can be caused by: bacterial or viral infections.
