Diagnosed With Polyps & Diverticulitis
I have just been diagnosed with polyps & Diverticulitis . The Polyps were removed during the Colonoscopy & Gastroscopy . I have fears the Polyp s will return &eventually develop in to Cancer . I take Pariet for Reflux , which I would really like to eliminate . Not sure why , just something keeps telling me they are not ideal to take long term . I have been taking them for 4 1/2 years . I am 60 years old ! Regards , Paula .

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have polyp in your colon. Chance of recurrence and turning in to cancer depends on type of polyp. Please send me histopathological report of polyp. For diverticulitis you should go for permanent surgical treatment.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
