Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

You shouldn't worry.You have almost normal findings.
Reactive gastropathic changes are caused due to chemicals like alcohol,bile etc.
It has characteristically minimal inflammation.
It is good that gastric causes are excluded by endoscopy since you have long history of dyspepsia.
Further you need ultrasound of abdomen to exclude Gall bladder calculus as it may also cause dyspepsia.
You are taking right treatment and you should continue it.
Get well soon.

Take Care
