autoimmune gastritis

hi everyone,

anyone have any knowledge on links between hashimotos and gastric mucosal disease/autoimmune atrophic gastritis/ biermans disease / thyroid gastric autoimmune syndrome. I spoke to an immunologist who told me links to the above and the association between hashimotos . I have also been tested for pernicious anemia and although negative I know the tests are unreliable. He has advised I see a gastroenterologist . My son has Crohns . I have had stomach issues for years now and am wondering now if I’ve had a mild form of crohns ( my son has had horrendous episodes which i haven’t). I have spoken for years to endocrinologists and gps about my stomach cramps And they have never mentioned the above.

I’d be grateful for anyone’s knowledge.

Thank you
