Simple Question...

I was recently diagnosed with Gastritis Intestinal Metaplasia and Autoimmune Atrophic Gastritis in the stomach. The reports says "Areas of incomplete and complete intestinal metaplasia are present. Alcian blue stain for intestinal type mucin is positive. No dysplasia identified. Giemsa stain for H. pylori is negative" The Doctor said we will continue to monitor and do another scope in one year. My question is, am I doomed and is stomach cancer coming soon? What can I do if anything? Thanks

Is gastritis with no apparent cause just … forever?

I began having gastritis symptoms in late May for the first time in my life (I’m 44). I have struggled with acid reflux for 20 years though.
I had an endoscopy that showed a normal duodenum and mild gastritis, no ulcer, no hernia. They ruled out h. pylori.
My gastroenterologist doesn’t know why I have gastritis. For a month in June, I ate a 100% bland diet and took sucralfate 4x a day and Pepcid 2x a day in addition to my regular pantoprazole. Symptoms did improve slightly.
I currently take 40 mg of pantoprazole and a scoop of Glutagenics powder in water.
Now 4 months later, I’m still having almost daily mild burning pain and nausea and if I have even a small portion of a trigger food, I’ll have 2-3 days of severe pain with full body chills. I’m currently in a horrific flare up just because of a few bites of some fish that I didn’t know was marinated in lemon juice.
Everyone I talk to says I’ll heal once I remove the underlying cause but there doesn’t t seem to be anything to remove. I don’t take painkillers, smoke, drink any alcohol, drink sodas, or eat anything spicy / acidic / fatty / citrusy.

I f****** hate gastritis

It's been 3 years now multiple ppis, sulcralfate, supplements, bpc 157 and Mucosta but here I am still the most excruciating burning pain of I have anything with a trace of caffeine or acid in it. Nobody seems to know what's causing my active gastritis and I am have all lost any hope now. I can concentrate on anything struggle to hold down a job and get brain fog. Honestly I have gone through open heart surgery and more but this is killing me inside I can't take it anymore!

Terrified

I keep reading all these posts about people’s gastritis and GERD not going away and them suffering for years with no answers.
This is my first time experiencing this and it’s been a week since my ER visit. I don’t have burning very often right now but I’m also eating extremely bland basic repeat foods that I know won’t trigger anything.
I’m also taking carafe and a ppi. But I’m scared I’ll get off of those and the burning will come back super strong or that I’ll never be able to eat normally again.
