@dcdonly45 - I moved your question about Barrett's esophagus here to where many others were talking about this same condition so that you could ask them about how to heal this and improve the inflammation the doctors say you have. Please meet, if you've not already, @marjoriem @bapetersen @vlf and others who may have some thoughts for you.
Has your gastro doctor commented on whether your habits of avoiding caffeine, citrus and red meat are helping your condition at all? Is the plan for you to be on the PPIs long-term?

Thank you Lisa, for your assistance. I’m a Life Long resident of Minneapolis and great healthcare. However, I’ve been in Austin Tx for past 4 yrs.. still not finding real help. Yes they want me on PpIs for rest of my life. I go to
Austin Gastro, they seem to understand, mine has gotten worse over the past 4 yrs due to my caregiving for my WWII husband and the stress I’ve been through. My diet is healthy, greens, fruit, no fast food, lil meat and work on an alkaline diet.
I’ll have my next endoscopy in June, if no real answers, I’ll research Mayo or John’s Hopkins who has developed a procedure. I do not have cancer, but last testing Dec. 2025, indicates I’m a couple yrs away from it. I’m an 80 yr old female. So appreciate the Mayo Connect site. Diane
