Intestinal Metaplasia: What do you do to lower the risk of cancer?

Annie, thank you for sharing. I am seeing a gastroenterologist in late May who specializes in this. Will report back if with anything new I learn from him.

results of endoscopy. FINAL DIAGNOSIS
Antrum biopsy:
- Chronic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia.
- No microorganisms or dysplasia seen.

Has your Dr even mentioned Barretts Esopagus?

Low acid diet. No soda, booze, tomato, vinegar products, mexican, Itialian food. No fried fatty foods.

I got same sort of diagnosis after Mayo did my endoscopy biopsy. They were great at explaining it all to me. Mine however was precancerous. My advice is ask as many questions as you have. make a list, plan your appointment. What would you really like to know?
Use patient portals to get answers also.

I also had Barrett's esophagus. It was gone on my last EGD scope. The low acid diet does work. I'm also on a PPI Pantaprazole to shut off the acid.

thanks !!! I am sure you will do well.

I don’t mean to bare bad news but PPI’s science has learned are not very good for you and make you prone to too many bad illnesses. My wife gave them up with the aid of this program which essentially stops almost all carbs. We both lost weight are feel so much healthier and we pretty much swore of carbs at meals. https://digestivehealthinstitute.org/contact-us/
