This is tricky to : Answer without all the information. Focal metaplasia is typically distinguished between environmental and autoimmune causes based on the pathology. Sometimes H. Pylori is diagnosed even with negative test results. Sounds like you need to get back in touch with your gastroenterologist to discuss.
