Let's put together a Barrett's esophagus friendly diet we could download or print off this site. It sure would be nice! Thanks

I am new to this discussion. Actually, I have never posted on any site BUT I was diagnosed with BE last November and I have been so scared. I got my letter in the mail to schedule my follow up (1 year) endoscope and it triggered me to go online again and read so I decided maybe I could get a little relief by joining this group. I can relate to not having warning signs of heartburn.

Hi, @maxsproudmom and welcome to Connect. What led to your BE diagnosis? My only symptom was hoarseness. I think the restrictions vary depending on how severe your BE is.
I hope you are able to learn more about BE and contribute also. My endoscopy is in the beginning of September and I must admit, I too am a little worried about it. I will post after I discuss it with my endo which won’t be until September 30.

If you buy that coffee remember that you only need 3 talblespoons for a 10 cup pot like on my bunn coffee maker.

@riflemanz64 I purchased the pods for my Keurig, so I presume they must be equivalent.

@graceandpeace The bad part about nothing appearing to bother me is that maybe it is actually causing a negative effect on my esophagus. Frankly I have not adhered to low-acid as well I should. I would love to get off omeprazole though.

@graceandpeace Thank you. I know I have not been a good patient in this but I have so many restrictions for various reasons that I have been resistant to adding more. I do try to keep my coffee acid low. I bought the healthy coffee on Amazon that someone suggested. When I don't have that I drink dark roast since that is lower in acid.
I don't eat many tomatoes or citrus but I do eat a lot of salads and they, of course, have vinegar in them.

I can definitely sympathize with you there..... adding just one more restrictive plan, or medicine, or Dr visit/procedure can really weigh any person down. Which coffee is it that you get off of Amazon? I recently ordered some from a company called Lifeboost that I had heard about, but it's still sitting in my coffee pantry, unopened, bc I'm a big chicken and afraid to try it. You have to understand, I've been off of it (and everything else acidic) for almost 2 years now, so, even if it is low acid, my body - in particular- my bladder, may go into shock. But, I know I need to at least try it, a little at a time.
