A member asked:

I had a gastroenterologist tell me that chronic gastritis not cause by h-pylori does not pose a cancer threat, is this true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: True all cases of chronic gastritis are not due to h pylori infections also every gastritis will not lead to cancer , best me sure eat healthy food , maintain hygiene contaminated food is the cause , if you have h pylori infection get it treated before the complications sets in
