Hi @ritamorris, Unfortunately we are members like yourself and can share our experiences with different tests but we are not qualified to help interpret test results. You mentioned in a previous post you had an endoscopy and the doctor found erythematous mucosa in the gastric body and antrum, and you are now waiting for biopsy results. Have you gotten the results back? Can you discuss them with your doctor?

Hi, and thanks for your reply. I've been slightly anemic for over a year. Doctor did endoscopy, removed polyps from my stomach. Polyps were non-cancerous. Also had colonoscopy a year ago, polyps removed and were non-cancerous. Doctors still don't know why I'm anemic. Have follow up labs and doctors appointment with PCP and oncologist next month.

Yes, I have more then one issue with my gi tract and was need help understanding to my path results although I know it's benign. but I am wanting to know if it is fixable my results are
Stomach, endoscopic biopsy:
REACTIVE GASTROPATHY.
- Histologic sections reveal gastric antral and fundic (oxyntic) type
mucosa with reactive foveolar hyperplasia and minimal-to-mild chronic
inflammation. These histologic changes are consistent with
chemical-type injury such as can be seen with NSAIDs, alcohol, and bile
reflux.
- Immunoperoxid
ase stain for Helicobacter pylori is negative.
- No intestinal metaplasia is identified (confirmed by PAS/Alcian
blue stain).
