Anything: There shouldn't be any dietary restrictions, with the exception to eat in moderation, and avoid foods that make her reflux sunrooms worse. Talk to a gastroenterologist about endoscopic surveillance of the barrett's esophagus.

That's a tough one!: I would focus mostly on her diabetes and eating appropriately for that condition - low glycemic diet with eye on weight loss if she is overweight. If her kidney stones are calcium oxalate (most common) then she should restrict oxalate (NOT CALCIUM) rich foods such as rhubarb, beets, okra, nuts, tea, chocolate, soy and spinach. See a registered dietician for livable eating plan!

Diet changes: Great question - she requires smaller portions per meal, low sugar, low refined carb, low salt, low animal protein, low saturated fat, modest polyunsaturated fat. Best diet is 3-4 oz fish, complex carb only, whole grain, only. Adding lemon extract 3-5 tablespoons per dan of ReaLemon into water will help with kidney stones.
