A member asked:

Hiya. will endoscopy see gastritis? and will it show right when the endoscopy is done or have to wait for biopsy results? thanks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both: Some types of gastritis may be obvious on endoscopic examination. Depending on the type and severity of the lesion, you may need to wait for the biopsy for the definitive diagnosis. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco or alcohol in any form. Practice safe sex.
