If the 2nd test, didn't mention Barrett's, that sounds like good news to me! I was diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus in Iowa. Now, 5 upper endoscpies later, I no longer have Barrett's esophagus. I changed my diet and the Barrett's went away. I was having bad acid reflux and now I have gastritis and a hiatal hernia. I was throwing up and having diarrhea and tummy aches a lot. Got tested and they said it was acid reflux and Barrett's Esophagus. I went to an alternative Dr. and he did food testing, extensive on me. He found that I had an intolerance to wheat, gluten, and dairy. He told me to go gluten free and dairy free. I started with gluten free first and I feel so much better now. Dairy free was actually the hardest, as I love cheese! I still have some issues even with gluten free and dairy free foods, overall I feel so much better.
My suggestion to you would be to get tested for any food allergies or intolerances. 2 types of food testing available:
Allergy Dr testing- traditional type prick testing on your back or arm.
Non-traditional testing- blood work/lab type testing- sent to a speciality lab.
Both are great to have, as both give you different results. The blood work kind is usually done by a Functional Medicine or alternative type Dr. It is pricey, but well worth the extra money to know what your body doesn't like or rejects.
Keep a food journal/symptoms too. Your Dr. would have told you if you have Barrett's. I had to request for my Dr. to do a 2nd upper endoscopy, and he said he would go further down in my esophagus. That is how he found the Barrett's with me. They told me it is pre-cancerous, and you have to be watched, every 5 years get another upper endoscopy. I am so thankful mine went away, I believe that is all from me cutting out what my body was rejecting-the wheat, gluten and the dairy. Food is huge and it has a huge effect on our body. Problem is our doctors aren't trained much in education of foods, so they can't educate us on food, when they only have 1 class on it in medical school. I see a Functional Medicine Dr. and she has a health coach that goes over your food log and will help educate you how to change your diet/the foods you eat.
