Barrett’s esophagus

Taking caffeine pills doesn't really make sense. As far as i know, the problem with coffee is the caffeine, which loosens the sphincter (LES), such that acid can leak into your esophagus. So, I suggest trying to wean off those caffeine pills, and maybe try decaffeinated coffee which has only a small amount of caffeine.

I find that my problem with coffee is the acidic nature of it, I have not experienced problems with the caffeine. I have issues with tomato paste and sauce as well.
