Your Health: Barrett's Esophagus
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лип 2012
- While most people think heartburn may just be an annoyance, chronic heartburn or acid reflux can lead to Barrett's Esophagus, a change of the normal cells in the lining of the esophagus to precancerous ones. Dr. Ann Chen, Director, Endoscopic Ultrasound at Stanford, discusses the risks, symptoms and treatment options for Barrett's Esophagus.

TNE (TransNasal Esophagoscopy) is an excellent way to screen and identify at risk patients EARLY. No sedation, 5 minutes, office procedure. Safe and very effective.
More physician's need to be performing this test.
Wow, this is amazing. These people truly are incredible. So it appears from what I've read just 15-20 years ago they couldn't treat barretts until it turned to cancer and now they can treat it in very early stages and blast the abnormal cells away in the esophagus. I was diagnosed with Barretts and told to get an endoscopy every 3 years. Its amazing what these researchers and doctors have done to save people from getting cancer. It seems the hard part is if 25% of people with GERD get barretts many of them are not getting scoped and go untreated until they develop cancer. Maybe doctors should really find a way to monitor those with GERD better if they have had it long term.
I hope you are able to read this. I have GERD AND EROSION ESOPHAGUS, my first GI doctor given me medicine for 30 days and then she said take it for 30 days and then get off of it ( it's addictive ) . I went back to her 6 months later , and I tried to speak to her about giving me an EGD and she would NOT . I wanted check , every 6 months, to always keep up with it. So I went to the Second GI , we talked about everything but he wouldn't give me a EGD, he
said it's not good to have one done. So I left and I haven't been back , that's been last year.
The third doctor given me an EGD and he said I don't have gastritis ( i have a hard time believing it ) and he said
everything was okay about my GERD and Esophagus. I can concern about Barrett's , he said I don't have it .
All I am doing is, trying to keep tracked of this and found a GI doctor who cares for ( his / her ) patients.
None of these GI doctors I went too , NEVER mention what kind of diet , I should be on, I had to Research it myself.
I am trying to avoid from getting Barretts. This is all Stressful. It makes it easier if the GI Doctors ALWAYS keep tracked of her patients.
I know of 2 people who had Esophagus Cancer and with in a few days different , they both died.
I like to know where all the GOOD GI PHYSICIANS ARE .
I know for a fact, V.A physicians keep tracked of all their patients , all the time. Most the time you have to visit
there between 3 and 6 months , depends on your situation. I wished ALL physicians were like that.
I HAD Barrets but on my last Edg, they said it was not showing up. What I did was try to eat an alkaline diet the best way that I could. I would eat a little meat here and there but not every day. I make sure I drink a spinach , Kale, Chard smoothie for breakfast in the mornings, add a little piece of lemon for taste. Some mornings I would eat some oatmeal no sugar but add fruit or a little honey for taste. For lunch I will maybe eat some fruit: watermelon, cantaloupe , or just a bag of grapes. For dinner, I would eat maybe a piece of salmon, broccoli , steamed zucchini, squash and for my drink, a spinach and kale smoothie with a pinch of lemon in it. When I make the smoothies , I usually do not add ice, remember I am not eating for taste but for health! I do not drink nothing but water, when I can I drink alkaline water. NO Coffee, Teas, Sodas, or any other beverage. Water only. I try my best to snack on pecans, walnuts, and some seeds. I cant lie people, sometimes I also snack on a small bag of chips maybe twice a month, I HUMAN okay! The chips are NOT recommended. Try your best to stay away from the sugars , pies, cakes, honey buns, cookies, candy ect.. it is enough sugar in your fruits. NO pork, No processed meats, and try to stay away from bread if possible.
Note: You will drop off the pounds, maybe look like you did when you were in high school. Your blood pressure will be lower, and usually your energy will be high depending on what other medications you take.
Hello! how long did it take for your barrets to go away? I've had two scopes done, have barrets but no sign of cancer... i hope i don't have cancer im scared, but i suffer from anxiety and depression i notice it makes acid symptoms worse, i really need help please help me :(
How long did it take?
Hi, it says that this was 1 year ago, how are you now?
Yes! Google Dr Koufman on youtube and buy her books
妖精 how are you now?
I have Gastritis, GERD, and Erosion Esophagus.
I have had this for 2 1/2 years, I know you mention fundoplication, to tighten the valve between the esophagus
and stomach.
My GI doctor NEVER mention this to prevent Acid Reflux occurring and prevent Barrett's Esophagus, would it help from getting it????
I was recently diagnosticated wi barrett's and I do intermittent fasting with keto diet should I continue?
Thank you,
Gabriel

I have Barretts Esophagus
I had an episode where it felt like my food was stuck in my throat. And now I have concerns because now it always feels like something is in my throat and now sometimes it feels like my food is slow to go down. I think I need to go get checked out. What symptoms did you have?
@@marvinwilliams4223 what you have explained seems that it could be barrets oesophagus disease or a hiatus hernia. I'm 29 and have only recently been diagnosed with both barrett's oesophagus and a hiatus hernia. I always get Chest pain sometimes you may get upper back pain . The food gets stuck in my chest and often comes back up . You may also get bad pains and inflammation under the left rib cage . I would suggest you go get it checked straight away if you didn't already
@@chrisodonoghue6693 what is your treatment plan, how are you feeling now?
@@annesalomon7620 I've to take medication every day for the rest of my life . You can buy probiotic called alflorex it seems to help a lot also . Its all about diet and what you drink alcohol wise . It's very hard to deal with some days . I don't eat after 6 as the food keep coming back up in my sleep . I'm waiting on an ultrasound soon so hopefully will know the full extent
@Anne Salomon I'm gettin an ultrasound on my whole stomach and abdomen. I'm a drinker don't smoke .but as I' drink it aggravate the pain. So I'd to cut back on drinking . .if your having trouble sleeping at night I find it helps to sleep on my left side or sometimes bring a hot water bottle to bed with you. I'm on Esomeprazole 40mg twice a day and amoxicillin .
