<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> When I was biopsy-diagnosed with CD about 15 months ago, my gastro doc told me I also have Barrett's Syndrome/Esophague (BE) - a precancerous condition of the Esophagus. He seems to feel that being on a gf diet will treat the Barrett's Syndrome as well as the CD. Needless to say, BE is directly related to reflux. He prescribed no drugs such as Prilosec. He told me nothing about alcohol and it's effect on BE. However after checking the archives and other relevant online sites, I learn that alcohol paralyzes the sphincter muscles at the opening to the esophagus and must be strictly avoided. My question is this - how many of you have been diagnosed with BE along with the Celiac diagnosis? Should I insist that my doc give me medication? I still have a problem with reflux although I never considered it reflux until reading personal online descriptions. Even though it's been over 15 months since the diagnosis, I'm just now getting alarmed about the BE diagnosis. I have another biopsy scheduled in November and I guess my doc's thinking is that he'll assess the BE at that time. If any of you have had any experience with this, please get in touch with me. Again, I appreciate all of the help ya'll have given me in the past. Regards, Linda in Savannah, GA
