I just found out that I have focal IM in the antrum . I was negative for h pylori I don’t smoke for 10 years and I barely drink maybe 2-3 times a year and very minimal . I had chemo for Hodgkin’s lymphoma 10 years ago . I rarely take ibruprophin what could be the cause of this and how can I reverse it

discuss with your gastroenterologist

Hi Doctor, great and reassuring video..
You say the risk is 0.5% is this statistical for complete IM or Incomplete IM or is it a combination for both types?

[@drdesmondwaigastro4833]

average

I was diagosed with IM WITH NO PYLORI BACTERIA . I would like to ask what medicines does the doctor usually prescribe to treat IM? Thanks a lot

[@markiboyzgaming1483]

do you have answer on this?

[@drdesmondwaigastro4833]

no medicine can reverse IM, as far as I know

Hello Doctor. The result of my biopsy says that I have atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia in the gastric body, and positive helicobacter pylori. In my case, are the risks of this becoming cancer very high?

[@drdesmondwaigastro4833]

Atrophic gastritis with GIM, please discuss with your endoscopist

[@goldtaker95]

what you think about ppi medication? are they dangerous in the long run? can the stomach health improve with acid inhibition?

[@drdesmondwaigastro4833]

look out for my future posts

[@goldtaker95]

@@drdesmondwaigastro4833 thanks! I have erosive gastritis, non atrophic, and without the h pylori, but with intestinal metaplasia. is that dangerous?
searching about it, I found out that the intestinal metaplasia is much more common in the non-erosive and atrophic gastritis, am I right? the intestinal metaplasia appearing in the erosive non-atrophic gastritis is more or less dangerous?

[@bhh-b2x]

Hi doctor, a polypoid tissue was detected in my duodenum during endoscopy and the biopsy result revealed FOVEOLAR METAPLASİA. Also chronic gastritis were detected but h. pylori negative. What does this mean? Is it something dangerous? Does it turn into cancer? What do you suggest me? Thanks

[@drdesmondwaigastro4833]

check with your gastro dr
