A member asked:
I have crohn's colitis and my egd showed "inactive chronic gastritis" in my stomach. no h pylori. how do i know if it's crohn's in the stomach or not?

MOST LIKELY IT IS NO: Crohn disease could affect any part of the digestive system from the mouth to the anus saying that very unlikely the gastritis is related to crohn most endoscopist take a biopsy to rule out bacteria like h pylori same time they can rule out crohn as well.

Probably not: It's a great question an one that often stumps gastroenterologists! chronic inactive gastritis is seen on many healthy peoples' egd. It's really non-specific. Crohns of the stomach will usually show active gastritis. So, i think that your pathology is really not indicative of crohns of the stomach.
