A member asked:

What does it mean when i have a duodenum that is erythematous (hyperemic) and denuded?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several things: It could be celiac disease. It might be inflamed from NSAID use. There are other causes too. You've had an endoscopy to reach this conclusion i presume - so talk to your GI md.
