FD or something else, I am confused
I have been suffering stomach discomfort for 6 months by now and lost 20 kg. My symptoms has been burning, burping, gnawing pain and gas most of the time. I did endoscopy and colonoscopy with bunch of biopsies. I got the results but i am confused. doc basically told me i dont even have chronic gastritis but there is a redness/sligth irritation in antrum section.
Biopsy results indicate:
I. Duodenum, Bulbus–Postbulbar Region; Endoscopic Biopsy
Duodenal mucosa within normal limits.
II. Stomach, Antrum; Endoscopic Biopsy
Antral mucosa within normal limits.
No H. pylori was observed in the mucus layer of the surface epithelium with Giemsa stain.
III. Stomach, Corpus; Endoscopic Biopsy
Oxyntic mucosa within normal limits.
No H. pylori was observed in the mucus layer of the surface epithelium with Giemsa stain.
Initial report indicates:
Esophagus
The color and structure of the esophageal mucosa were normal.
The Z-line was passed at 39 cm from the incisors.
The diaphragmatic pinch was contracting 1 cm below this level.
Stomach
On retroflexion, the cardia hiatus appeared normal.
The fundus, cardia, corpus, and antrum of the stomach were examined.
The antral mucosa was generally hyperemic.
In the other regions, the color and structure of the gastric mucosa were normal.
Gastric expansion with air was normal.
The fasting gastric fluid was clear.
Duodenum
The pylorus was open.
The duodenal bulb was well formed.
The mucosa of the bulb and postbulbar region appeared normal.
Diagnosis
Erythematous antral gastropathy.
I do not get it, doc told me i may have a FD and stomach nerves might have become much more sensitive. By the way, I have IMO, I dunno if it contributes.
