Can gerd that was not treated for 1.5 months with ppi's actually cause barrett's? or would it take longer to develop and can on ppi's?

Don't wait for sxs: Barrett's epithelium occurs as a terminal event in those with chronic gerd, but gerd may be "silent" for years. Don't wait to feel sick since barrett's leads to esophagus cancer. Poorly treated barrett's can progress by replacing more ; more of the esophagus lining, ; can become dysplastic. Barrett's warrants surveillance endoscopy, aggressive acid suppression, ; maybe ablation ;/or surgery.
