Omeprasole hiding biopsy results?

I've had endoscopy and 4 samples of biopsy were taken. Before endoscopy I was taking omeprasole for several weeks which I reported to the nurse who asked about any regular medication. Now I read that omeprasole might cover lots of problems e.g.be a reason for false negative hpylory test (CLO test). Can it also cover more serious issues and the early cancer being not detected from biopsy? 

  • I was in a similar situation in that I was due an endoscopy & was taking Omeprazole. The doctor who was doing the procedure suggested not taking the Omeprazole for several days prior to it as it could affect the H pylori result. He didn't mention it affecting anything else. The doctor gets a good look at the oesophagus, stomach & duodenum & takes several biopsies so it suggests it is quite thorough.
