@riflemanz64 I have it too, but I'm confused because I was told you cannot get rid of it. I was told that once those cellular changes take place, they don't revert to normal cells.

I quit taking esomeprazole because after a year of it, my osteopenia advanced to osteoporosis. I now take only famotidine. But, with a low acid diet and drinking alkaline water only, I have very few symptoms.

@sgreger1
My GI doc said no sign of BE and keep taking the omperazole to keep the acid down. So I’ll take it until I die. I’m going to be 71 and the average man lives till 77 so I’m not worried about side effects.

@sgreger1 interesting
I’ve never heard of alkaline water. What is it? Did doctor advise you to drink this?
