Specializes in Internal Medicine - Allergy & Immunology

Yes, you should: You don't mention how you were diagnosed. If you are doing well and initially had an endoscopy that confirmed the diagnosis, there is no urgency. Still you should be seen once a year. If you have never had an endoscopy, you should see a gastroenterologist.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
