Indigestible food, less defecation, is it caused by gastritis?

Question
Hello doctor,
I went to the doctor and had a CT scan of the abdomen, which the doctors concluded was gastritis. However, after a few days of examination, I took medicine but it did not help, always had pain in the epigastrium and belched continuously. Indigestible food, little bowel movements and very little each time, there is a hard and painful lump under the mammoth beak. Please ask the doctor if the condition of food is difficult to digest, is the bowel movement less due to gastritis? Thank you doctor.
