What Causes Redness On The Inner Lining Of The Stomach?

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 Dr Shareef 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 drug along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for symptomatic relief.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
