Barrett's Esophagus
Will my Barrett's lead to cancer
I was recently diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus. My research showed that this could develop into esophageal cancer. I was worried that I would die.  I spoke with an expert and was reasurred that the chances of my developing cancer were rare especially if I used the medication as prescribed and followed a healthy lifestyle (no smoking, healthy weight, exercised) I can control this condition and expect to live a normal life.  He also suggested that I be sure to have regular endoscopies to check for any changes in the cells of my esophagus.
 
Reducing Stomach Acid
I was told recently that I have Barrett’s esophagus.  Until a few months ago I’d never even heard of it.
