Hi and welcome to HCM.

Yes, gastritis may have effect on whole difestive system and may cause bloating constipation but also diarrheas as well. Of, course there may be 2 concomittant diseases of colon and stomach so you should do colonoscopy if your symptoms persist. You should have easier diet , probiotics and high fibre food to prevent hard stool formation.
I hope I answered your query.
Thanks for the query. Regards.
