Q: is a vitamin c supplement safe to take as i barretts? the one im thinking of is low acid?

: Vitamin C supplements should not adversely effect Barrett’s esophagitis nor the GERD that leads to it in the huge majority of circumstances. If you find that you are the exception after trying it and that it does increase your GERD, then try a different form of vitamin C supplement or other healthy dietary sources of vitamin D.
