Endo Results

I had my EGD yesterday.  My GI said my esophogus looked fine - for that I am thankful - but I have a bit of gastritis.  He did a biopsy, but I don't have the results yet.   He mainly said to stay on my medications.

Well, I looked up gastritis, and none of the causes fit me. I don't smoke. I don't drink.  I haven't had an NSAID in years.  So would you believe that the GERD is also causing the gastritis?

Anyone else here have gastritis?   I'm a bit upset with the GI to begin with since he told me this when I was still in a fog.  I don't even remember saying much to him.   I'm supposed to go back in 3 months.

I'm thinking about calling his office Monday am to see if I can get a better explanation or even make an appointment just to talk to him about the results.  It really aggrevates me that I pay all this money for a doctor, and he can't take five or more minutes until I'm a bit more clear minded to tell me what he found.

Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Hi Jlsuffers,

I dont know if you fit the criteria, but women in their early to mid 40's get the disorder without provocation, a possible correlation  being hormones.

I got digital color photos in my report. Mine also said everything looked good when I was recovering from the anesthesia. Make a phone call and ask for answers. Good luck!
