Endoscopy showed multiple stomach polyps. I was told this is sometimes seen in people who have been on PPI's for a long period of time. No sign of ulcers. Biopsies were taken and sent to the lab so I should have results in 2 weeks.

Welcome to the forum, Stormy. What did the doctor say? Did he remove the polyps?

No polyps were removed, only biopsies. There seem to be too many to remove all of them. Anybody else have gastric polyps?

Welcome to the forum Storywen. How long you have been on PPI? Are you doing the strict GERD diet already. The forum moderator have a lot of info about this. Keep us posted on your biopsies.
God bless.

Im not sure whether it is actually true that PPIs cause polyps, some studies say there is no correlation. Have you been tested for h pylori?

h pylori tests were negative
Celiac panel was negative
Abdominal ultrasound and x-ray were normal

I've been on PPIs for over 10 years. Working on the GERD diet now and avoiding gluten because it makes me sick. Hoping to get biopsy results soon!

Great news! Biopsy results showed no pre-cancerous growths, no significant inflammation and no infection.

I've been doing an elmination diet for 16 days now and was feeling great. I took out dairy, soy, gluten, wheat, corn, caffeine, citrus, nightshade vegetables, all processed foods and artificial ingredients, beef, pork, chocolate, and a few others. The first thing I was able to add back in was citrus and it caused me stomach pain so now I'm healing and waiting to try another food group.
