My 3rd EGD (upper endoscopy) No Barrett’s seen!

Posted by riflemanz64 @riflemanz64, 2 days ago

My last two scopes in 4 years showed no Barrett’s Esophagus. When first diagnosed in 2018 the doctor said mine looked bad. I went on a strict low acid diet and cut out all the crap and BE was gone. I just had another EGD (upper endoscopy) done today 2 years after my second EGD and the doctor said No sign of Barrett’s!!!! I’m one happy camper! I’m just letting you know you can get rid of it with diet and lifestyle changes. My next EGD is in 2031. A good book I followed is The Acid Watcher diet I bought off of Amazon!

What caused the BE to develop. Did you have bad acid reflux.

Yes acid reflux. I was eating before bedtime, drinking 5 sodas a day, 5 coffees a day. Eating a lot of junk food.

My BE disappeared also after diet changes. Low sodium and don’t overeat is my strategy. I’ve even lowered my pantoprazole doses for better absorption of B12 supplements.
