A member asked:
Is it possible to have barretts and not gerd.and if so, do i have to follow the same diet a gerd patient would?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Although technically , barrett's should only occur in the setting of acid reflux , once you have barrett's, the lining accommodates so that you may not actually have reflux symptoms. It is still recommended to decrease acid exposure to the lower esophagus to theoretically decrease the chance of progression to esophageal cancer. This can be done with medications or going on an antireflux diet.
