Patients with erosive gastritis who experience weight loss typically do so because reduced food intake leads to insufficient energy production in the body, resulting in decreased body weight. Treatment should include medications that protect the gastric mucosa to help restore normal appetite. Additionally, it is important to monitor for signs of chronic blood loss, which may lead to anemia—and subsequently contribute further to weight loss.
