A member asked:

I just had an upper endoscopy. findings were gastroduodenditis and esophagitis. didn't get to talk to dr yet. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It means: You have inflammation of your stomach, duodenum, and esophagus. Most likely cause is excess acid. You should followup with GI specialist for specific recommendation.
