QUERY REGARDING GASTRITIS

2020-01-22 19:35:40
Is it true that gastritis causes malabsorption of vitamins and causes nutritional and vitamin deficiencies. My nails have totally been discolored as you can see in images. Is this a cause of gastritis ? See the lines on my nails. Plz also see the endoscopy report. What is the permanent cure of gastritis ? What is the treatment advised because the treatment of my doctor isn't working at all.
