I'm not a doctor but I also have metaplasia. So the followings are not medical advices, just my findings, as an "engineer".
The treatment procedure is not really discovered yet. But there some works are done.
1st : and the most important : Choose an healthy life sytle.
2nd : NO ALCOHOL, NO SMOKING.
3rd : LESS Meat, MORE Vegetables.
4th : Use Supplements (Ascorbic acid / Vitamin C) + (Antioxidants / I use Solgar)
5th : Do endoscopy every year. (No less).

You have to be strongs, yes you have these condition but you gotta remember if you give up, you are giving up for everything you fought. Pain is temporary it may last for a minute, a month, a year but eventually it will go away. If your already in pain right now why give up. Fight through it. I wish i could know more on your condition to help you out but sadly I can't.. Stay strong!!

Hi, I also diagnosed with gastric intestinal metaplasia last December. I'm very worried person and had to know exactly what is this problem and how I can treat it, so I talked to 4 gastrointestinologists and 2 pathologists . First, you need to know if you have h pylori (my result was negative with biopsy but I asked for the breath test and it was positive, so ask you doctor to do different tests). This is important because you want to know if the cause is h pylori or it is autoimmuneatrophic gastritis (ask your doctor to measure vitamin B12 level as well, low level of B12 is a indication of autoimmuneatrophic gastritis). Of course treatments will be based on the cause.
Best,

Hi, this is not really an old post. It's only one month old. I'd really like to read others' progress here. I've a blog in Turkish, which is, http://midesagligim.blogspot.com[/b].
Being scared is normal BUT wait, you need to live what is in your hands now. So, first, the most important thing, CALM DOWN.
The last gastroenterology professor, who I've talked to, clearly stated that Metaplasia can go worse or can heal.
The treatment procedure, or even the progress, of IM is not really discovered yet. But some works are already done and they've some ideas about the progress of the illness. (for instance : Correa's Thory)
The followings are not medical advices, just my findings, as an "engineer".
1st : and the most important : Choose an healthy life sytle.
2nd : NO ALCOHOL, NO SMOKING.
3rd : LESS Meat, MORE Vegetables.
4th : Use Supplements (Ascorbic acid / Vitamin C) + (Antioxidants / I use Solgar)
5th : Do endoscopy AT LEAST every year. (Don't wait more than 1 year).
Please update here with results from your further endoscopes...
