:'( Does anyone know how dangerous this stuff is? Both we biopsied but I have to wait a week for results.....I'm scared to death.
The doctor only tells you minimal results and back to other patients. Half asleep I'm supposed to remember what he said........Don't think so.....Need some input.........Thanks.

Since I've been in similar situation and probably will be again because of continuous struggle to figure out what is wrong with what is left of my stomach, I've picked up a lot more than I thought I will ever know about gastro-enterology :-( So, gastric mucosal abnormality characterized by erythema means that they have found red, inflamed patch in your stomach that they are now checking out to try to find out the cause. Same thing is present in your duodenum - most likely it is caused by acid irritation, but inflammation can have other causes. What was the initial reason they sent you to do the tests? Please, keep me updated and if I can help you, just let em know.
I originally went for the test as my food was not staying down and what stayed down didn't want to come out. Before that I had a very bad sinus infection ...woke up one morning coughing until I vomitted and then had a masive bloddy nose. Went to the doctor and he said the inside of my nose was like a raw piece of meat. Gave me Antibiotics and a spray for my nose. Then I ended up with Mastatis in both breast. Now This Erythema......What next???? My upper back and chest feel like I'm being crushed like someone has me in a bear hug. My stomach is on fire and painful. It doesn't matter what I eat I blow up like a turkey. I'm so tired of being sick. It puts a cramp in my style. I am a very active 67 year old and not use to lying around doing nothing. Any input you can give me is helpful... I was worried about Cancer. I still don't know how I got this.....
I am 68 and you just described me to a Tee. Hope you find out something and post it.
may i know the results of your biopsy
