I was told by the doctor that gave my 12 year old daughter who has been vomitting from time to time and after they gave her an upper gi and checked her colon all in the same day that she was fine but that in the wall or lining of her stomach there was redness or red streak about the size of a silver dollar. What can that represent.
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. This patch of redness could be due to gastritis (inflammation of the gastric mucosa) which could be due to more of acid production in the stomach, or due to chronic irritation by spicy, fried diet. You did not mention if they took any tissue for biopsy or not, which is a routine during any endoscopy. The report of biopsy could give us an idea on the cause of the inflammation or otherwise. Till that, she should go for bland diet and liquids, and could take an anti-emetic Chat Doctor.
