@riflemanz64 I hope you stick with your new eating plan. I stuck with mine for a while after I was diagnosed so long ago. But I gradually went back to where I was drinking cokes and eating chocolate and Mexican food — just smaller amounts than before!

The Prevacid I’ve taken for 20 years suppressed — and still suppresses — the production of acid. So those foods weren’t giving me heartburn anymore. And I now have low grade dysplasia! So did I cause this myself because of poor food choices? Probably.

Thanks for your reply. After reading your comments, I am going to be more careful.about taking my 40 mg pill of daily. It is easy to forget if having no symptoms Now I do still notice hoarseness, and being somewhat relieved, I am beginning to occasionally eat a bit of chocolate, fried foods, and fresh oranges and orange juice and hope it is not hurting my esophageus.
I have wondered if it makes any difference what PPI you are taking, I never thought previcid worked well for me and I did stop taking omerprazole and went on pantoprazole
