Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Can Polyps shrink merely by follow the correct diet? At my last colonoscopy I was told I had polyps and I asked to have them removed. My gastro said no because they are the type of polyps that go away with the crohn's inflammation and don't need to be removed. I did not know there were two types because in the US they always removed all polyps that were found. So based on what my Italian gastro said, I would say that if the diet is working these types of polyps should go away. I'm interested to hear if others know of two different kinds of polyps.
