Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Dangerous combo: Barrett's esophagus implies chronic inflammation and risk of cancer. If you're purging by vomiting, this is an even more dangerous situation. You need focused treatment of both your eating disorder and your esophagus. There are inpatient and intensive outpatient eating disorder programs: http://tinyurl.Com/kyedojd a GI specialist needs to be part of your treatment team also please get started.
