I was diagnosed with Barrett's as well...so i understand the scary part. I wasnt expecting that I guess? Ive had horrible reflux/gerd for years and been on many mediations for it..They work for a time than they dont. Does anyone else throw up with this? That has been happening the last several years for me but couldnt figure out what was going on. Came to my gastro here at home and she diagnosed barretts. we changed meds and hopefully that will help. good luck with yours and I hope that you feel better soon...Kim
