General query
6-7 months back I discovered a gallbladder polyp of 2.9mm, i am an active exercising person, diet is good and healthy, no junk food.
Last year my stomach issues started, during an usg polyp was found. Later during endoscopy it was found h pylori was the culprit for most of the issues.. so want to know, as h pylori affects/alters the fat metabolism, can that be a cause of why the polyp appeared?

No ...gall bladder polyps are not because of h pylori infection . It's likely that you were having acute Abdomen pain (because of gastritis likely) which on endoscopy came out to be due to H pylori infection . And on USG abdomen : polyp that you got in GB is just an incidental finding and nothing more .
Next Steps
1)repeat USG abdomen every 12monthly to check any growth in size of polyp : if anytime size is above 1cm : consult a General surgeon and ask about any need of GB removal
2) complete course of antibiotics for h pylori

Some asymptomatic polyps could be left like that as they shrink on their own n this one is very small in size.
