Many children seek medical treatment due to recurrent abdominal pain (duration of more than 2 months). Patients often feel discomfort and pain in the upper abdomen or navel. The pain is dull or paroxysmal. The attack may affect appetite. There is no acid reflux or fever, and the bowel movements are normal. These children with recurrent abdominal pain often have bad eating habits, such as liking to eat cold food and cold drinks regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, being picky eaters or eating large amounts of indigestible food, and eating little or no vegetables and fruits. Long-term unreasonable eating can stimulate increased secretion of gastric juice. Excessive cold food and cold drinks can stimulate the contraction of blood vessels under the gastric mucosa and thinning of the mucosal layer, which will reduce the defense ability of the gastric and duodenal mucosa, leading to mucosal edema and erosion, forming gastritis, and then developing into gastric and duodenal ulcers.

Children with chronic gastritis are often accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection. This is because children have irregular diets and eat large amounts of raw and cold food, which reduces the resistance of the gastric mucosa, making it easy for Helicobacter pylori to invade the gastric mucosa and cause gastritis, which then spreads to the duodenum and leads to duodenal ulcers.
