Barrett’s esophagus-friendly diet

Hi all. I was just diagnosed with Barrett’s and am getting used to the idea of a radical diet change. I eat well anyways and have not had red meat for nearly thirty years and am very active. So this was a surprise and also a little scary. I was basically asymptomatic but it was discovered during a routine endoscopy bc I have had a chronic cough since January when I was hideously sick. Over the last six months, I began clearing my throat a lot, both a cough and throat clearing are symptoms, but no actual GERD symptoms. I got the endoscopy on the advice of my asthma Dr to rule out GERD and got the Barrett’s diagnosis. Any suggestions or advice of being newly diagnosed are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!

Hi
I was treated with Radiation and chemo to remove cancerous tumor in my lower esophagus that was limiting swallowing. The treatment worked but now I've had 3 endoscopy and oblations and each time they end up burning off precancerous cells in lower esophagus which is Barrotts. I also just has scan this week and will see what it shows now. I eat normally now.
