Barrett’s esophagus-friendly diet

I recently was diagnosed with Barrett with no Dysplasia. How I knew there was something wrong is belching. I belched just drinking water. I also had chest pains for the last two years. I went to a cardiologist and he ran many test and all was good. I had chest pains and left breast pain and even went to emergency room. No one could find anything wrong. Since I are for my husband who is fighting two forms of blood cancer everyone said it was anxiety. Thank goodness I mention belching to my doctors and the endoscopy found my issue. Does anyone else have chest pain with Barrett. I have never had food come up in my throat like others describe. I honestly have no clue what to eat or drink.

Food coming up or heartburn is not a necessary symptom in the case of LPR, where the acid reflux symptoms can be sore throat, coughing, clearing the throat often, and etc. So, you probably have LPR. Research all the ways to reduce acid foods (no tomatoes, citrus, carbonated beverages), and no caffeine or chocolate (because they loosen the sphincter which keeps the acid out of the esophagus), no black pepper or spicy food, sleep with raised head of bed or on a wedge, don't eat big meals, sit straight while eating and chew well, try to move around after eating, eat last meal 3-4 hours before bedtime... and look on the internet for more suggestions...
