You had great news last time that the scope no longer showed evidence of Barrett’s syndrome. I'm hopeful that with the proton pump inhibitor the peptic ulcers are gone, too.

I had my scope today at 7:30am. All went well. I was clean for my colonoscopy after drinking 2 gallons of prep and fasting for 2 days. No polyps were found and I was put back on the 5 year plan. My EGD went great because there was no sign of Barrett’s esophagus. My peptic ulcers also healed because of the PPI omperozole. The Dr. said my esophagus looks great. The stomach junction also was normal. He did say I had a little diverticulitis starting but was normal for my age. He said eat more fiber and exercise. I was really happy to hear this outcome. Anyone with BE watch your diet strictly .
