Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I am also glad that the polyps are not malignant. I wonder why you stopped using the proton pump inhibitors, however kinpride can be very effective as ell. I think that regular visits with an upper GI endoscopist, once in 3-6 months, to get the specimen tested pathologically would allay your anxiety. I also would recommend that you visit with a psychiatrist to detail the onset and course of progression of your symptoms and have a biopsychosocial treatment to the condition.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
