¿Alguien puede ayudarme a entender la Metaplasia Intestinal…? Me hice una endoscopia en julio y descubrí que tengo mucosa de tipo Antral con metaplasia intestinal… No se identificaron HP… Lo descubrí a través del portal del paciente… el médico ni siquiera mencionó que tengo MI… solo dijo que el resultado de la biopsia estaba bien… ¿Alguien aquí ha sido diagnosticado con metaplasia intestinal del estómago y, de ser así, qué hicieron? Estoy muy preocupado… Por favor, ayúdenme 
Hola, lo primero es mantener la calma. Serás tratado por ello, pregunta a tu médico al respecto. No he sido diagnosticado con metaplasia intestinal, pero puedo asegurarte que debe haber un tratamiento para ello. Espero que te pongas en contacto con tu médico lo antes posible. ¿Tienes algún otro síntoma?
Me dijeron que no hay tratamiento. Solo tenemos que observar y esperar. Harán una endoscopia cada año. Tengo 2 úlceras pequeñas, gastritis y reflujo ácido 
Tienes que ser fuerte, sí, tienes estas condiciones, pero debes recordar que si te rindes, estás renunciando a todo por lo que has luchado. El dolor es temporal, puede durar un minuto, un mes, un año, pero eventualmente desaparecerá. Si ya estás en dolor ahora, ¿por qué rendirte? Lucha a través de ello. Ojalá pudiera saber más sobre tu condición para ayudarte, pero lamentablemente no puedo... ¡Sé fuerte!!
I have not heard of that. What are you symptoms
Have them check your gallbladder by doing a hida scan
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 lila. How are you treating the problem? I was just diagnosed today and I’m scared!
Hola jessica47249. Fui a dos médicos más para una segunda opinión. Me hice dos endoscopias más. Esta vez no encontraron metaplasia intestinal. Por favor, busca una segunda opinión
I was diagnosed with focal intestinal metaplasia of the oxynic mucosa with chronic gastritis. It’s really hard to understand this sickness with not much info on it.
Hi,
I've also been diagnosed as intestinal metaplasia. How is your life after 8 months?
Sé que este es un post antiguo, pero quería saber cómo van las cosas con la Metaplasia Intestinal. Acabo de ser diagnosticado, se encontró en la biopsia en el antro, solo un poco de enrojecimiento y gastritis leve. Estoy muy asustado. ¿Pueden decirme con qué frecuencia han tenido que hacerse endoscopias y si la IM desapareció? ¡Gracias!

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).
IF they found metaplasia using biopsy, there certainly is metaplasia. Doctors must be gastroenterology doctors. It is possible for second doctors to miss the region with metaplasia in stomach. Do endoscopy with latest techniques (Such as NBI).
It is not a fast progressing issue. If you have metaplasia today, you might have gastric cancer some years later. But you also might NOT have cancer for another 30 years. The mechanism is not exactly known yet...
So, there are things that you can interfere and there are things that you can not.
Go on with what you can. Choose an healthy life. Use vitamin C-ascorbic acid (1g/day), use antioxidants.
Hi, I was diagnosed in November. I was told that I had a lot of redness in the stomach and some of the esophagus. My symptoms were lots of acid reflux, a lot of stomach rumbling and burning in the stomach. After the diagnosis I stopped eating everything that triggered reflux and eating healthier, after about a month, the reflux was completely gone and I no longer had the burning sensation or the rumbling. I overall feel better now that I am eating better and not skipping meals. I don’t know if it’s helped the metaplasia issue, I have an endoscopy until November this year. I’ll post more then. I learned that it does no good to worry, it is what it is and if I’m meant to live my life this way, oh well. I’m 27 and have 3 children under 5 all I want is to be healthy for them. I’ve put my life in God’s hands.
Wish you the best!
Try not to worry too much.

I’ve had gastric metaplasia since mid 2016. Mine was caused by h pylori and had to treated it with antibiotics. Then I completely changed my diet and took different supplements. I had another gastric mapping this year and my doctor took 16 biopsyes. He told me that there was NO sign of metaplasia in my stomach and I don’t need to take PPI. I still eat healthy and use supplements until I do another endoscopy next year (just to be sure). The main thing is to know what causes the metaplasia and solve the problem. It seems metaplasia is reversible and can be treated so don’t lose hope.
¿Con qué frecuencia te hacen una resonancia magnética? Mi médico quería esperar 2 años, pero yo tuve cáncer de útero antes y quería hacerlo cada año, así que ella dijo de acuerdo. ¡Es aterrador leer cosas en internet, gracias por tu respuesta, me hace sentir menos sola!
