A member asked:
I have had acid reflux nearly 4 years now. it is clearing up slowly. my question, how long should it take the barrett's syndrome damage to heal up.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe never: Once barrets disease is found, it is rare to reverse. However, proton pump inhibiitors like Omeprazole and Nexium (esomeprazole) may delay progression of barrets disease to esophageal cancer. Rf ablation can be used to destroy barrets tissue.
