Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If this biopsy slide was with me I would also exclude amoebiasis, girdia, tuberculosis and if any increase in IELs or any crypt hyperplasia / increase in eosinophils etc...

However, as per your description, there is some chronic inflammation in your small gut nature / cause of which is unknown from present tissue bits!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
