@contentandwell I believe Barrett's is measured to the amount of visual damage they see. Barrett's really has no symptoms. What barrett's is cause by is the erosion that is created by GERD symptoms. Which can be silent for many. I get a severe sore throat, hoarse voice, stomach ache,and chest pains. It's like I feel it just about all. The chest pains feel like a dagger is going through my chest bone. The sore throat feels like strep throat without a fever. If I eat any of those foods I am seriously in severe pain for about 10 days. It's brutal..
My biggest thing now is motivation and will power to not fall for one taste of coffee. My biggest downfall.. I love coffee and it tears my throat, and stomach apart. I get stabbing chest pains from drinking it. I loved Dunkin Donuts coffee, 1 large Black Coffee with 2 shots of espresso. sighing and I love Cuban Coffee. Can't drink it.

@travelgirl Jackie, I really have NO other symptoms other than the occasional hoarseness, which was constant before I started taking omeprazole. It's odd, but in many conditions I tend to be somewhat asymptomatic. You should ask your doctor if you can drink low-acid coffees, that might be OK. Surprisingly the dark roasts have less acid because the extended roasting burns off the acid! I believe that decaf has less acid also, but not sure of that.
I am sorry you have so much pain, you make me feel very fortunate with my Barrett's. By the way, what is Cuban coffee?
