Hashimotos connection to Barrett's...

Posted by phoggie @phoggie, Aug 30, 2016

I have Hashimoto's Disease...and Barrett's Esophagus. I have an idea the two are related some how. Does anyone have these? I am considering the Nissen Fundaplicfation, but would like to try something else first. I also have a tumor on my thyroid and waiting to see the results of my sonogram. It has been suggested I try a Gluten-free diet, but have not started that yet.
I am new here and appreciate you thoughts.

Do you still take meds, and if so, how long have you been taking them?

I too have barretts, I am off of coffee for 7 months now and it was difficult? Yesterday I had a test done and was told to eat acidic food and drink coffee. Well let me tell you I had two cups, it was awful! I was jittery all night, the taste was awful. I am difinitely never going back, I drink chamomile, or ginger tea with probiotics. Believe me stay off the coffee!<br><br>

About drinking coffee. I have two cups in the morning, and stop around 8 AM. With all the drugs I take, it is about the only way I can stay awake until 8 pm.
