A member asked:

I did an endoscopy and biospy also performed with h.pylori negative result. is it possible someone have gastritis or ulcer without h.pylori?

Dr. Dean Giannone answered

Certainly.: It's entirely possible to have gastritis and ulcer from reasons other than H. pylori infection. Chronic use of aspirin and other NSAIDs would be a reason. There are also inborn errors in stomach acid production. The biopsy should give you some useful information in this regard.
