Hi, I have been recently diagnosed with erosive gastritis and recent biopsies have shown intestinal metaplasia, I have found out myself that this is a pre cancerous condition, my consultant has sent me a letter informing me of this but with no other information, treatment options or f/u. I am completely in the dark as to what to do next, I don't drink or smoke and do not have the H Pylori infection so I am unsure what has caused this and how to help the condition. So sorry if this is not the correct forum for me to be writing this, but I am worried and uncertain and was hoping someone could maybe give me some information. Many thanks in advance ( not used to writing on forums, you can probably tell!). Starry Night

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to hear about the challenges you are dealing with. Not having clear information can be very stressful.

    Could I suggest you copy and paste the text from this post into a post to our Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.

    Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.

    All the very best
