A member asked:
Is it possible for a very inflamed esophagus to be positive for barrett's on a pathology report but come back negative once all the inflammation is healed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible but unlikely. Barrett's is not typically inflammation but instead is a change in the epithelial lining.
