- Taking medications such as aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Cocaine addiction
- Stress resulting in excessive gastric acid secretion
- Bacterial infection such as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)
- Autoimmune gastritis predisposing to vitamin B-12 deficiency and other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto’s disease and type 1 diabetes
- Stress as a result of major surgery or trauma or other illness
- Traumatic injury, burns, or severe infections
