Endoscopy and findings

I had an endoscopy last week which showed D2 mucosa denuded and scalloping so 4 biopsies taken in that area looking for coeliac disease. It showed gastritis and duodenum ulcer with inflammation in that area. Total of 12 biopsies in total and am now on 60mg lansoprazole daily.  It’s approx a 6 week wait and I’m stressed x
