Apparently I have this!

I have gastric intestinal metaplasia. My endoscopy found a precancerous lesion in my intestines from excessive GERD. Pretty gross huh? Apparently the problem of acid reflux is more than just a nuisance. It has caused me some internal damage by the time I am 45 years old. I am glad that I did my recommended screening at the appropriate age and did not wait until it was too late. I hope this doesn't turn into Cancer. Hopefully, this can be remedied soon. I am supposed to have another endoscopy at the end of the year.
