A member asked:
What causes gasitris and duodenitis endoscopy done they said nutthing look like any thing cancer they said still waiting on a biscoy what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High gastric acidity and H. pylori infection (chronic) are the most common causes. Other causes could be medications or other acute bacterial, viral infections. etc. If your GI doctor does not suspect cancer by endoscopic appearance then you have nothing to worry, just patiently wait for the pathology result and take acid suppression drug(s) in the mean time. Good luck.
