Don’t panic my friend, you’ll be alright. I was diagnosed at age 63 with BE and it scared me too. I went on a strict low acid diet and my last 2 scopes were free of Barrett’s. So it can be reversed. Try to eat 3 small meals a day. No soda, booze, citrus drinks. No fried food. Cook chicken breast in water. Eat green vegetables steamed. I was put on omperazole ppi daily 40 mg. Get rid of salt pepper and all seasonings. This is a bland diet. No Italian Mexican food. No vinegar products or tomato. Eat bananas melon for fruit. Buy the book The acid watcher diet from Amazon. This doctor explains it and tells you what to eat. No eating 3 hours before bedtime. Drink only water, alkaline water, unsweetened almond milk which is non dairy and alkaline. Decaf green tea I drank along with low acid coffee half caffeine in the morning. I wasn’t giving up a few cups in the morning. Good luck and don’t panic. Exercise daily by walking if you’re able to.
