I agree with you!!!
. I had no pain or heartburn symptoms initially but after undergoing and ECG for eosinophilic esophagitis then I was diagnosed with Barrett's. Have been doing some reading on the internet and if one EE BE might be forthcoming or a part of it. However, I personally do not smoke or drink and from what I have read both of these lifestyle patterns greatly increase the chances of esophageal cancer. I have been taking omeprazole for about 5 years and it is wreaking hell with my bone density and kidneys. What to do? Is anyone in the same boat? I have read that even if diagnosed with Barrett's there is only a 1/2 % of getting diagnosed with esophageal cancer.

Have you tried organic raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar? Try one tsp in 6oz glass water and start slowly and add little more after one week, or you can buy Acid Indigestion Relief by Maty's from Amazon. It has good reviews. I have been ill for 4 years. Got better twice but; I started having coffee and bacon and pastry and got sick again. This time I am not getting better and waiting for an Endoflip procedure end of July. Cant take any PPIs or H2 Blockers due to having candida. They told me I don't have Gerd. I don't have any regurgitation, or warm chest. Sometimes food gets stuck in esophagus if I don't chew well. I have gastritis. Try vinegar and see what if you get better. You can also try Gaviscon or Mylanta.
