hi and thanks for your medical question on ehealth forum! intestinal metaplasia is often reversible by a combination of antacids and treating h pylori infection. so first test and see if you have this infection. if you have h pylori infection consult the doctor and start treatment. take antioxidant supplements and diet rich in them. hope this helps. take care!
i am 33 years old. i have been diagnosed with extensive intestinal metaplasia in the stomach. am i gonna live? can i get a stomach transplant? i have so much pain and am wondering if this is treatable. please help me doctor. i heard that usually after 6 months of endoscopy cancer can be found. i did endoscopy in nov 2010 and i am scared.
