Barrett’s esophagus: Your tips and treatment?

I have BE with high dysplasia. I have had two ablations and I am scheduled for my next endoscopy in Feb.
I am on 40 mgs of omeprazole, twice a day. That has alleviated any GERD I was having. I have cut out coffee and other acidic foods. Hopefully, the actions taken will prevent things from progressing.

Can you give me any hints on stopping drinking coffee, I have tried half caffeine and half decaf, but not helping, headaches, I have Barrettes disease, trying to drink herbal teas, Dr wants me to stop all coffee. Thank you.

Try buying (or checking out at a library) the Acid Watcher Diet by Jonathan Aviv MD. It’s an excellent book and resource. I follow the diet and so many of my Barrettes symptoms have gone away. I have been able to lower my omeprozole from 80 mg a day to 30 🙂 My ENT is very pleased and I am hopeful my next scope should prove improvement.
ALSO Look up the Acid Watcher Diet Warriors Support Group on Facebook.
They are so supportive and in fact someone in this support group, connect.mayoclinic.org, directed me to both the book and the support group mentioned above. Life has truly improved!
