A member asked:
Does chronic hpylori gastritis actually heal in a 20yr old? . if ulcers heal, shouldnt gastritis?. info online contradicts, would appreciate dr's view
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should. If the: H pylori infection is treated effectively, then the ulcers and then the gastritis should heal, especially in a young, healthy individual. Gastritis may linger for some time, but it should improve after treatment. If it doesn't, you should see if something else is contributing, including more serious stomach issues, food sensitivities, etc. If you smoke, this will make the gastritis linger.
