Cannabis has been shown to help inflammatory bowel disease. Gastritis is usually caused by too much of everything, whether its alcohol, cigarettes, stress, prolonged usage of anti-inflammatory drugs or a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori. There are are CB2 receptors present in the gut which respond to cannabis quite well, increasing the healing chances by 50% according to researchers. Using a hybrid with a high amount of CBD seems to be the best type of cannabis product to use. This would be helpful to provide the best anti-inflammatory effects. Strains such as Super Lemon Haze, Trainwreck and Strawberry Haze should do the trick in cases of gastritis.
