My Barrett's too seems to be in remission. My doctor does not say it's cured, and he does have me continuing to take a medication. I am currently on Famotidine. I was on Omeprazole but I asked to be switched because of potential side effects of it.
I don't recall ever being told to not eat berries. I have been having oatmeal with either blueberries, strawberries, raspberries in it every morning for years! Maybe the oatmeal neutralizes the acid? I also frequently have salads with chicken and strawberries in them. I guess my Barrett's was not that severe. I think some of these things will do no harm unless your Barrett's is severe - as my mother-in-law used to say, "all things in moderation". Of course you should check with your doctor on that. When I checked with my gastroenterologist about coffee when I first had Barrett's he said if I really enjoy my coffee to not be concerned with one cup in the morning. I do not drink it in excess, and I generally drink dark coffees. They have less acid due to the extra roasting time.
I do use occasionally use mayo, mustard, and ketchup also but the other things are things I tend to not eat anyway, except for Italian food. My husband is of Italian heritage so we do have Italian food about once a week.
