Biopsy result

[emulator64]

Hi, i just made a biopsy and the resulta was:

Macroscopic description:

Two Fragments of yellow collor with 0,3 cm of bigger axis

Microscopia Diagnostic:

Mucous transition of antrum/corpus with mild chronic superficial gastritis
Helicobacter pylori not observed.

Can anyone helpme in this? I feel stomach pain, reflux, burning, and nausea. And when i ear something it takes hours to digest, i feel full hours and hours, i cannot eat almost anything without getting these terrible symptomps. Im going to specialist soon. But since Helicobacter pylori is not observed in biopsy isnt there a chance that the bug is still there and got undetected? Thank you for help

If the doc biopsied at a 'typical' spot in the stomach - which is the antrum where the H. pylori likes to 'hang out' - then if the H. pylori was present it would have shown up. H. pylori are usually able to be seen by the human eye in the stomach. Most often there are indications at the surface of the tissue - the surgeon sees those, and biopsies at those locations.

But this says you don't have H. pylori, but do have indications of gastritis at the surface.

Another way to check would be to run a breath test. In that test, the H. pylori - if present - would ingest the substance you would be given to drink and put out a 'by-product' that would be detected in your breath. If that by-product is present, then yes you could have H. pylori.
