Your GI should have told you what the results mean. A small polyp may be benign or it could be something to worry about. I had a polyp once and it was precancerous, the doctor removed it and I haven't had any others since. Did he remove the polyp for a biopsy? I don't have any info on doctors in India, sorry. Seems like most of us are from US, UK and Canada. I hope you get some answers soon.

Hopefully, the doctor removed the polyp. If it's totally benign with no cellular changes that could lead to cancer, I wouldn't be as concerned as if it was with cellular changes/precancer.

You might want to consider anther scope in a year.

Let us know what the results are....get a copy of the pathology report for your records (better than the doc saying "all is OK".

I think a few of us try to eat Indian diets :)

Tumeric is good for the intestines. Some people take it as a pill, but I'd enjoy it a lot more as curry!

If you are flaring, spicy hot indian food should be off the table. This means red chilli powder, green chillies and its like which are spicy hot and inflammatory. Other spicy curry powders are also not good. Although good herbs/spices like coriander, cumin, turmeric, black pepper, fenugreek seeds, asafoetida, mustard seeds, cloves, mint, dill, etc are cooling spices and can aid your diet.

Bread made of processed refined white flour should be avoided. Indian naan falls in this category. You can research what other foods you eat contain this.

Rice is fine. There is a minuscule minority that have problems with it. But most dont.

You mention dairy free but looks like you mention yogurt(curd). If you can tolerate yogurt, good on you!

People have had success with various diets like SCD, Paleo, FODMAPS, etc.

Since you are in India, have you tried alternate ayurvedic diet/herbs?

I have supplemented a few ayurvedic medicines on top of my 5ASAs. If you don't mind which part of India are you from?

I came to India for a few months after I had to quit my job due to UC. I had some good and bad experiences with ayurveda. Didn't have enough money or time, or would have stayed longer. Pancha karma was the best experience I had in tackling UC. But I can't keep coming to India for those basti(enema) treatments every few months. Those enemas were terrific. Hope they can develop some commercial shippable use-and-throw enemas like the mesalamine ones - Rowasa.

Kerela Ayurveda in the South, Atma-Santulan (http://www.santulan.in) guys near Bombay and Yog Gram (http://yoggram.divyayoga.com) in the North are the ones I was recommended for the best Pancha-Karma treatments.

If you have watery diarrhea Bilwa Avleha (made from Bael fruit) does an excellent job in bringing about forming stools. So does psyllium husk. Kutaj (Holharrhena antidysenterica) helps in reducing BM.

This was my experience with Ayurveda in a a nutshell. You should consult a good knowledgeable Ayurvedic doctor, although they are hard to find. My bad experiences from stuck up Ayurvedic doctors would turn anyone off from Ayurveda. But, good luck to you and keep fighting!
