  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/barretts-esophagus/symptoms-causes/syc-20352841

  Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the flat pink lining of the swallowing tube that connects the mouth to the stomach (esophagus) becomes damaged by acid reflux, which causes the lining to thicken and become red. […] Barrett’s esophagus is associated with an increased risk of developing esophageal cancer. Although the risk of developing esophageal cancer is small, it’s important to have regular checkups with careful imaging and extensive biopsies of the esophagus to check for precancerous cells (dysplasia). If precancerous cells are discovered, they can be treated to prevent esophageal cancer. […] If you’ve had trouble with heartburn, regurgitation and acid reflux for more than five years, then you should ask your doctor about your risk of Barrett’s esophagus. […] Seek immediate help if you: Have chest pain, which may be a symptom of a heart attack; Have difficulty swallowing; Are vomiting red blood or blood that looks like coffee grounds; Are passing black, tarry or bloody stools; Are unintentionally losing weight.

  Patient education: Barrett’s esophagus (Beyond the Basics) […] The goals of treatment in patients with Barrett’s esophagus are to control reflux symptoms and to prevent the Barrett’s from turning into cancer. Aggressive reflux treatment may be more effective in preventing cancer than treating only when there are reflux symptoms. […] The first priority in treating Barrett’s esophagus is to stop the damage to the esophageal lining, which usually means eliminating acid reflux. Most patients are advised to avoid certain foods and behaviors that increase the risk of reflux. […] A clinician may prescribe medications that reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

  Barrett’s esophagus, also known as Barretts syndrome or Barretts disorder, is a condition that develops after the lining of the esophagus (the swallowing tube that connects the mouth to the stomach) becomes damaged by acid reflux. […] Doctors use a technique called endoscopy to diagnose and stage Barretts esophagus in patients. […] Barretts esophagus has five diagnosed stages: Non-dysplastic (no cancerous tissue present). You dont need treatment at this stage but will most likely receive medication to reduce stomach acid production and undergo an upper endoscopy every 3-5 years to monitor symptoms.
