Hello,
These biopsies are not concerning. I would recommend checking for the presence of helicobacter pylori and stopping alcohol or smoking. It is also necessary to eat more frequently and in small portions and avoid spicy food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
