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.

Thanks!

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/

I agree, long term use of PPI's have damaged my liver and are only meant to be use short term, not daily. Have you doctor check for low acid. It has the same symptoms as to much acid. Thank you to my sister and mom, I found out that I have low acid and the PPI's were just making things worse. Good luck!
