A member asked:
Is it possible for you to be young and get barrett's esophagus im 20 years old can i get it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but rare: Barrett's tends to be a disease of middle - aged caucasion males. Having said that, I have seen barrett's in someone in their 20's. When in doubt, discuss it with your doctor for your options.
