@nasale I was very surprised at the results of my last endoscopy because I do drink coffee, and eat tomatoes. I rarely have citrus though, and I gave up soda years ago except for a very occasional decaf, low-cal cola. Sometimes I just need something with flavor.
I drink a ton of water, some green tea, and some other fruit teas that celestial seasonings makes. They are pretty tasty, especially iced. We were in Denver visiting my son and went up to the Celestial Seasons plant where they have a lot af samples in urns. That got me turned on to them as a good option.
Good luck, I hope you will be as fortunate as I have been.
JK

Welcome nasale to the forum. Sorry to hear about your Barrett's condition. I think I would find a new Dr. After hearing he didn't inform you about your Barrett's. I have it too and really watch my diet. I bought a book off Amazon ( the acid watchers diet) great info about gerd and diet. Number one is stop drinking soda, booze, regular coffee, fruit juices and oj. I only drink unsweetened almond milk and water. Almond milk is alkaline.
No tomato products of any kind. No Italian, Mexican, or fried foods. Baked fish, baked chicken and turkey are good. You can have a cup of low acid coffee ( healthwise brand).
I have mine with added almond milk instead of creamer. Eat fresh vegetables like carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, Lima beans, green beans,asparagus, mushrooms. Brown rice and baked potatoes are ok. Eat brownberry 100% whole wheat bread. For dessert I have peanut butter whole wheat toast. Stay away from high sugar and highly processed foods. Don't eat a lot of red meat. Stay away from foods with a lot of added acids in the ingredients. Hope this helps you! Time to change your diet. I didn't like it either but I'm used to it now. I also exercise a lot.
