@maxsproudmom I guess I too have silent reflux since I never seem to have a reaction to anything. @dandl48 I think the doctor’s advice is great for people who do react. That really is an advantage.
I have been through so many other problems since this was diagnosed that the BE got put on a back burner and I forget many of the food restrictions. I eat dark chocolate every day! If I was told that was a restriction, then I totally and very conveniently forget. I stayed away from tomatoes for a long time but do eat them now. I’m really beginning to get worried about my endoscopy now since I’ve not been adhering to the restrictions very well.

I agree with you!!!
. I had no pain or heartburn symptoms initially but after undergoing and ECG for eosinophilic esophagitis then I was diagnosed with Barrett's. Have been doing some reading on the internet and if one EE BE might be forthcoming or a part of it. However, I personally do not smoke or drink and from what I have read both of these lifestyle patterns greatly increase the chances of esophageal cancer. I have been taking omeprazole for about 5 years and it is wreaking hell with my bone density and kidneys. What to do? Is anyone in the same boat? I have read that even if diagnosed with Barrett's there is only a 1/2 % of getting diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
