because the inside of our stomach is protected by a mucosal layer that prevents its own digestion. Now, it doesn't mean that the inside of the stomach can never be damaged by the gastric juice.

What is gastric mucosal abnormality in the antrum caused by erythema?
I'll start by breaking down the medical terms. "Gastric" refers to the stomach. "Mucosal" refers to the inside lining, where the acid-secreting glands are. "Erythema" means redness, usually caused by too much blood in an area. Putting this back together, the report indicates an excess of blood in the lining of the stomach. The use of "abnormality" means the cause of the blood hasn't been determined, which may be good or bad. Typically cancer and infection are pretty easy to identify, unless it is an unusual type or particularly aggressive. Unless your doctor is worried about this, I wouldn't be too concerned. You may have simply had some stress that caused the stomach lining to be extra red.
