Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of atrophic gastritis.

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

If you indicate digestive problems, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Have you been diagnosed with Atrophic Gastritis? This a reduction in the number of functioning stomach cells, seen mainly in the elderly.

Possible responses:

→ Don't know
→ No, it has been ruled out
→ Yes, but no serious damage to stomach lining
→ Yes, my stomach lining has been seriously damaged

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either not having atrophic gastritis or atrophic gastritis, The Analyst™ will consider or rule out various possibilities.
