@andiesposito Hi Andi
That is encouraging "keeping my Barrett's from progressing."
As far as I know Barrets hasn't started for me,. However I am concerned that I will be damaging my esophagus. I need to be tested again. I have read much about Barrett's but so far I don't feel I have the symptoms. The burning of the tongue that I often wake up with has me feeling I have Acid Reflux/LPR...and especially happens at night while sleeping.
What were/are your symptoms that you associate with the Barrett's.???
Also, you mentioned "MedCline wedge and body pillows you have to really get used to them."
Are you saying you use more than the wedge MedCline in terms of pillows???
I looked up MedCline and not sure if you ordered one specifically being identified for Acid Reflux????
Glad you responded to lilianna and I.
Barbara

Hi: Barrett's would be diagnosed by endoscopy and your gastroenterologist, so if you are concerned and haven't had a scoping, you probably should. I have no symptoms -- it's called "silent GERD." I discovered MedCline about 10 years ago; it's a company here in San Diego. I use the company's reflux system, which has been very effective for me. In fact I am on my second set of wedge and body pillows. Yes, the system is somewhat expensive but very sturdy and long-lasting. The benefits of using the system have shown up in my endoscopies through the years. (I also take a low-dose PPI.) I will say it takes time to get used to the system. MedCline itself recommends a 30-day break-in period. MedCline is happy to speak with customers, so don't hesitate to call them. Thanks for your note.
