A member asked:
Are ppi induced fundic gland polyps dangerous? if i stop taking ppi's i have heard it can regress. does this mean it goes away completely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not dangerous.: Fundic gland polyps are not dangerous. They may regress in size if PPI's were stopped, but I would not recommend stopping your PPI unless your doctor agrees. I would discuss this with whatever doctor discovered the polyps. Good luck.
