What Causes Gastritis And Inflammation In The Stomach?

Hello. I had a colonoscopy 4 days ago and was diagnosed with tapeworms, treated with 1 dose of Biltricide. I also recently had a upper endoscopy, where only gastritis and inflammation was found. I recently had ct that showed liver cysts, fat stranding, inflammation This was all brought on by severe abdominal pain in January. I have passed 3 sections of flat something covered in feces, over 20 inches long each over a 7 week span, which is what prompted the colonoscopy as I brought pictures. He says there were alot of worms and I have pictures. The upper and lower were done by different doctors. My worry is that there must be other effects on my body. I have been so lethargic, my red count is low and so is my hcrit. I would like to know if I should followup with the gastroenterologist who did the endoscopy and update him and if I should worry about other things like the liver cysts. I am still having pretty bad right upper side pain and having hard time taking deep breaths. Need an opinion as I have just exhausted my thoughts. Thank you. YYYY@YYYY Hope Begin

Hello,

You took the meds for the tapeworms, gastritis needs to take care of your diet and probably the use of meds like Pantoprazole, liver cysts need to be clear what type they are and if they need surgical intervention or not.

So I recommend you to see a hepatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
