Gastritis autoimmune??

Hi, I'm not sure I'm posing this question to the correct group?? I have Hypothyroidism, mild Sjogrens & have also just had gastroscopy confirming gastritis. Im not sure if the gastritis us autoimmune related or not. Hpylori negative apparently. Was low in Vit D as get skin rashes after sun exposure so use sun screen constantly - still being investigated for LUPUS. My B12 was ok but not optimal (all results as per photo). Feel like I'm going downhill & don't know which consultant should be managing me as have GI, Dermatology & Rheumatology involved - GP only for thyroid, but feel like the main culprit e.g. autoimmune disease is not being managed collectively & properly. GI consultant didn't do any acid tests to decipher if low or high (suspect low) but gave me omeprazole anyway which I believe will cause me more probs if acid is actually low. Have no idea where to go with this - GP just doing what GI consultant advised. Any suggestions/advice welcome??

Atrophic gastritis: Symptoms, causes, and diagnosis

Hi.All of them need to work together . I have 4 consultants at 3 different hospitals....rheumatology for my lupus,kidney specialist for my lupus nephritis, chest specialist for lung issues and an endocrinologist for my autoimmune thyroid disease ( hashimoto's).no 1 consultant or gp can sort it all out it's far too complicated. I also have autoimmune b12 deficiency anaemia and have b12 injections every 8 weeks .I 'm out of energy now and running on fumes so delighted i get an injection today 😀. Kind regards x
