Hi @nsainato. Good news to have mild findings on your recent scope!

I recently had a scope and prescribed PPIs so I am having similar concerns. Part of my report says, “reactive foveolar hyperplasia”. My understanding is they help to reduce stomach acid to reduce symptoms and support further healing, and provide diagnostic information towards identifying what has caused problems.

Did your doctor say how long you should take Omeprazole, maybe rechecking how you are doing in a few weeks or discontinuing? What led to getting your scope in the first place?

The scope was ordered due to a choking incident. I had no problems with
digestion. Currently I am not taking Omeprazole, I have an appointment
coming up October 13, I have a lot of questions before I take this
medication, it gives me severe eye dryness. The medication was
prescribed without having an office visit along with the pepcid that I am
taking. Beside the eye dryness I also started having slight pains in my
stomach. That is why I am waiting for the appointment. Thanks for
responding.
