Hello, I just happened to find this support site by chance and God only knows how truly happily relieved I am. I was diagnosed with Barretts Esophagus and Brunners Gland Hyperplasia roughly a year ago by happen chance. I had consistently explained that I was having trouble swallowing food, and regurgitating at night while asleep. Not just that, I also had noticed there was blood in my stool. I expressed these things with medical professionals and was constantly told my symptoms were due to other medical issues. As I told every physician I visited, one finally checked my old blood test and noticed that my red blood cells were extremely low and with the black stool sent me for a endo which revealed that I had a combination of 23 polyps which were causing the loss of blood, which led to the discovery of both the BE AND BGH. While I'm grateful, I am still extremely disappointed because there seems to be this apathetic demeanor concerning treatment which I have yet to receive.

I have been telling Dr's since March that I am bleeding and still continue with it! The camera showed multiple places of bleeding.
After my hospital in March, I was assigned a different GI Dr. It took 4 months (July) to get in to see their NP.
I have told all my Dr's I have not had a good bowel movement since March. I had to do the prep for the camera and ended up on the same day as camera appt. back to the hospital because I knew I was bleeding. Confirmed be hosp. Dr. Luckily the ER doc talked to the GI Dr. that was supposed to do the camera on Monday to please do it on Tues. The schedule that this Camera Dr. is Monday, Wed, and Fri. By Monday I had not really eaten since Sat. Prep started Sunday. Today is Sunday, camera still there! Put in Tues. Thanks
