    No person should be going through this crap. I never had one G.I. doctor ever explain anything from very beginning - present . I had to do my own research . If it wasn't for ME , to have EGD Test done every 6 months, I wouldn't of known I had a Hiatal Hernia . I have to be 100% Proactive for myself. It's shame Professional Doctors can't take time to explain , what is wrong with the patient after all , why be a doctor if you are NOT helping the patient . I have to call my Insurance company to found if I can have an EGD test , I am trying to keep tracked of my Esophagus .

    I have Recently been diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus. I was told I have a symptomatic reflux. How am I To know what to avoid or how to treat this when I have no symptoms? I've been told to not eat anything that gives me heartburn. But I don't get the heartburn so I don't really know what I need to do. Is there anything you suggest?

    There are basic steps you can take to prevent the condition from worsening, including avoiding smoking and tobacco products and, if you do experience heartburn, minimizing alcohol and foods that can trigger acid reflux. The most important step, regardless of whether you are having symptoms, is to schedule regular check-ups with your doctor and consult a gastroenterologist about ways to monitor and reduce your risks.
