@gummybear21 frustrating, isn’t it … not knowing the cause …? I have exactly the same symptoms as you do, except I have managed to evade Barrett’s so far!

Like you, I too am beginning to think scar tissue (adhesions) may be the cause of all the tenderness and pain. My abdomen is like a road map, with incision scars from appendix removal, three Caesareans, laparoscopic gallbladder removal, and a huge scar running from the middle of my torso all the way to the middle of my back from kidney surgery.

The gastroenterologist who did the punch biopsy (the most painful of the three I have had - the other two didn’t hurt at all!) on my liver didn’t shed much light on the “slight cirrhosis” of my liver, so I have made an appointment to see my family doctor on Thursday, hoping she will investigate further.
