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

Hi Linda, I was told no orange juice or oranges in my diet. I was told chocolate allows the valve to open in the esophagus and allow acid backup. I lost 12# since December 20 on my new diet. I also walk about 3-5 miles per day. Hope your Barrett's gets better.
