Suggest Remedies For Acid Reflux
Question: Ive had acid reflux for a while. Ive had it under control recently but i am afraid because i read that barrets esophogus comes when you have a lot of reflux. Are there any especific symtoms that i should look for?
Brief Answer:
It does not give any specific symptoms at all.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
Barrets esophagus is a change in the mucosa structure. It does not give any specific symptoms at all. It can be seen only under a microscope.
As you are very young and your acid reflux does not seem to be well controlled, you may be a good candidate to antireflux surgery called fundoplication. I suggest you to consult gastrologist and discuss it.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
