Explanation:

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a very common cause of gastritis in otherwise healthy individuals. NSAID use can cause gastritis but is not the most common in a healthy - previously non - medicated person. Parasite infestation and viral gastroenteritis are less likely to cause isolated gastritis compared to H. pylori.

Answer:

H. pylori infection
