Yes, He is a gastroenterologist. I'm stunned that he didn't tell me even what my problem was. I have seen him for about 4 years. It started with choking on food. All he ever said was chew foods better and take these pills. I thought I was otherwise going to be okay.
I will get my bed elevated and try to eat better. I'm really confused about what to eat and drink. 🙁

@nasale I take omeprazole daily. The gastro that I went to initially had me taking two 20 mg a day to get it under control, and then after a month or two, it was reduced to one. It barely showed up on my last endoscopy in the fall.
Good advice from @pdilly too.
Also, sorry I did not previously welcome you to Connect. I hope you can get some help here from other patients experiencing the same or similar problems. Barrett's is definitely a highly discussed condition.
