We present the case of a 30-year-old female patient with Gilbert's syndrome and gastrointestinal intolerance to proton pump inhibitors (PPI) with longstanding epigastric pain. Laboratory tests were unremarkable, except for a slight elevation of indirect bilirubin due to Gilbert's syndrome. An upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy showed a diffuse and homogeneous micropolypoid mucosal pattern that involved the entire duodenal bulb. Histopathology analysis revealed gastric heterotopic mucosa with foveolar epithelium and fundic glands. A diagnosis of diffuse duodenal gastric heterotopia was determined. Anti-H2 blockers were prescribed with a significant clinical improvement.

Article Synopsis
- Traditional cell line monolayers have been the standard for studying epithelial barrier and transport, but 3D intestinal organoids are emerging as a better model for studying these functions.
- Researchers developed human duodenum-derived organoid monolayers that don't require a gelatinous matrix for anchorage, which could hinder diffusion.
- The new organoid monolayers effectively replicate the duodenum’s functions and composition, showing improved models for studying transport mechanisms without relying on animal-derived materials.

The patient was diagnosed with amyopathic dermatomyositis complicated with interstitial pneumonia (IP) at age 35. She had been treated with prednisolone and maintained on tacrolimus (TAC) + azathioprine (AZA). Eight years later, she experienced epigastric pain, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) led to a diagnosis of duodenal ulcer.
