@riflemanz64 I’m sorry you’ve been diagnosed with Barrett’s. To answer your question, I think what you’re doing now is your treatment from now on — eating differently and taking protonix. They may also Have you raise the head of your bed about 6 inches.

In the 20 years since diagnosed, I’ve always been told that it can’t be reversed. So when I had my EDGs every 1 1/2 to 2 years I hoped my Barrett’s had not worsened — that it was the same. And that’s what happened for 18 years.

But then I developed segments with low grade dysplasia — thus the radio frequency ablation procedures now that I have a hard time bouncing back from.

I hope your Barrett’s never worsens. Take your meds and stick with your new eating plan.

Thanks pdilly, I did raise my bed up like you said. I also was told to lose 20#. I always was a huge coffee drinker and cut it down to 1 cup of health wise low acid coffee I found on Amazon. It has a ph of 6.18 and water is 7 so it's very low acid. I have to have one cup in the morning. I cut out red meat too. No Mexican or Italian food. Thanks for your reply. Steve
