What's a natural way to treat barretts esophagus?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Do not know: Barrett's esophagus results from reflux of gastric acid and enzymes backing up into the esophagus and damaging the lining of the esophagus. Overtime the damage can result in cancer. I do not know any effective "natural" treatment, but conventional medicine can treat it with drugs and if needed, surgery.

Don't undertreat!: Barrett's esophagus is not something to play around with! barrett's epithelium occurs as a terminal event in those with chronic gerd. Barrett's patients risks cancer of the esophagus. Poorly treated barrett's can progress by replacing more & more of the esophagus lining, & can become dysplastic. Barrett's warrants surveillance endoscopy, aggressive acid suppression, & maybe ablation &/or surgery.
