Intestinal Metaplasia: What do you do to lower the risk of cancer?

I was also just diagnosed with IM in my esophagus and stomach. My doctor called me and caught me off guard and now have a load of questions so will request a follow-up. Thank you all for the great advice and suggestions. Are there food, drinks, etc. that you know of that you should look towards for healing properties? I have had reflux for so long and thought I was good at avoiding all the trigger foods and yet I still got this diagnosis. I feel like I am going to have a small variety of foods to eat! I don't smoke or drink very often either. I read about ginger tea and lots of veggies, and whole grains. Do you avoid dairy as well? I also have a hiatal hernia and was on protonic for years but she just switched me to a time-released PPI and my reflux has been somewhat better.

All you can do is cut out fatty, fried foods, soda,booze, vinegar products. Drink unsweetened almond milk, green tea, and lots of water. Don't eat before bedtime. Lose weight if needed and exercise.

Order the book "The Acid Watchers Diet". Lots of great information and recipes there. He speaks a lot on how to heal the esophagus. I've noticed a huge difference in my symptoms with the right diet and I don't feel deprived. I've also lost 10lbs which has helped with my hernia a lot.
