A member asked:
My doctor took biopsies when he found erythema in the gastric antrum, what could these show?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Redness in stomach: Can mean inflammation or gastritis. The most common cause of inflammation is h. Pylori infection. Redness also occurs in reactive mucosa usually from taking Aspirin or nsaids. These two account for the vast majority of gastric erosions/inflammation.
