A member asked:

Is it possible to be diagnosed with barrett's esophagus with no dysplasia in feb 2013 and then in aug 2014 no barrett's was found?

Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Yes: If no Barrett's was found at the second endoscopy, it could be due to sampling portions of the esophagus which did not contain the abnormal Barrett's cells. I would discuss this with your gastroenterologist, to review the pathology results and see what kind of follow-up he or she recommends
