Intestinal Metaplasia: What do you do to lower the risk of cancer?

I have some abnormal cells too along with chronic gastritis, I also had H Pylori too which is a risk factor. Get checked for that. I also have Barretts Esophagus which is in remission due to my taking of PPI's and a strict low acid diet. NO booze, No smoking. No soda! Drink water, decaf green tea, unsweetened almond milk which is alkaline. No mexican, Italian or FRIED FOODS! It's scary thinking about stomach cancer.Do what you can to put the odds in your favor.

Does low acid mean no apple cider vinegar with water on an empty stomach? No coffee?
After seeing my gastroenterologist yesterday, I am on a 6 week fodmap diet, and I'm off pantoprazole.
I received the diagnosis of intestinal metaplasia and, much like many of you, it's really gotten to me. I understand that there are many different contributing factors that make it more / less concerning; however, it is my understanding that it turning to full on GC is fairly low. My only dietary advice was to avoid smoked and salty meats, like hot dogs, salamis, etc and no smoking. I've decided to eliminate practically everything from the plate including all cheeses, sweets, Italian foods, Mexican foods, sodas, chips, fries. Quick question though - am I looking for absolutely NO sugar and salt diet? What's worked for you?

Thank you. I will do all that. Do you have repeat endoscopies ever year or two? I was tested for H Pylori and it was negative.
