No
No.
No, drinking too much water does not cause gastritis. But it can cause electrolyte imbalance, excessive urination, trouble sleeping, etc. Just drink water as your body requires. There is no clinical benefit to overdrinking water. Your kidneys will just pee out the excessive fluid ingested.
The answer is no
No. Drinking too much water does not cause gastritis. If you think you have gastritis, I recommend you see a GI doc to get treatment or at least a definitive diagnosis.
