I can’t remember exactly how long I had Gerd before my diagnosis, maybe 2 years? My doctor who did my colonoscopy also did my endoscopy. She diagnosed my Barretts, after a couple years the tissue from my esophagus connecting to my stomach was turning brown in color which was a sign it could turn to cancer. She had recommended me to a specialist for 4 RFA’s (radio frequency ablations) that basically does away with the brown tissue and kills it so pink new tissue can grow back. The RFA’s were spaced apart like 6mos apart if I remember correctly? So the new tissue could come back. Hopefully you can understand this stuff. Best of luck !!🙏

It was not that long I started getting symptoms a couple of years ago. When I started having digestive problems it was related to my stomach problems. It's been about 2 weeks since I had the endoscopy and colonoscopy. They took a biopsy. Hopefully it's ok. My next vist the doctor says he will go over his plan to treat this. It really has come on suddenly. I got diagnosed with both at the same time. My case may be different but it's causing me to have insomnia as well.
