DOES ANYONE WHO HAS BARRETT'S ALSO SEEM TO LOSE THEIR VOICE A LOT. NOT ALL THE WAY BUT ENOUGH TO BE ANNOYING. I ALSO FEEL AS THOUGH THERE IS SOMETHING IN MY THROAT BUT NOTHING COMES UP AND THE DOCTOR SAID MY LUNGS SOUNDED FINE. SOMETHING ELSE TO WONDER ABOUT.

did you have an EDG to diagnose the Barrett's? Have you done all the dietary changes for Barrett's? I've read that they are extensive.

Could you tell me what an EDG is? And what do you eat?

I have had Barretts esophagus for years and years take 2 prevacid a day ,my voice at times gets horse stress can worsen this and at night it can be like hell cannot hardly breath.Be sure you are going to a very good Gastroenterologist and he takes biopsies every few years .Before I go the right doctor and right medication my life was a living hell.Try to avoid spicy food sometimes with Barrettes what you eat or drink does not matter its more complicated than that.

I was just diagnosed with Barretts esophagus last week. Also esophogitis and gastritis B. No matter what I eat, I always get pain in my chest in the morning or just before I get out of bed and it lasts until about noon. (intermittent) I get horse infrequently especially when I talk a lot. I had an endoscope diagnosis. What do you eat? I am taking Zegerid and it hasn't helped yet. Does the pain ever permanently go away? I gave up wine, caffeine, spicey foods, tomatoes, all of which are everything I love. Any suggestions?

Barrette's Is not so much about what you eat or drink you need to get the right doctor and right medication there is also surgery Nissen fundoplication which is not a cure but will control the reflux,I take 2 prevacid a day it helps.The pain and misery can be controlled get to the right Doctor I have had Barrette's 17 years most of the time I'm under control ,I had problems so bad before my diagnosis I thought my life was over.

I have not been tested for any esophogeal problems, but do have MS. It bothers my chest and my esoph seems to go into spasms, causing gas as well. On occasion I will have almost pojectile vomiting..It just comes..like a spasm too. I also get a very soft voice if I talk too much or am tired. Is this Barrette's????
