Health Update - EGD

I was recently diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus. You can read more about that here.

Luckily there was no dysplasia found, so for the moment I am going to take 40 mg Pantoprazole daily to see how things go. I will follow up with any other information if and when I do a post-EGD consult with my doctor. Other strategies to manage the condition include:

• Avoiding or reducing intake of substances that increase acid (coffee, caffeine, spicy foods, processed foods, greasy foods, fried foods)
• Avoiding overeating and/or large meals, especially before bed
• Taking Gaviscon or an acid-reducer before bed if experincing symptoms
• Getting regular exercise
• Maintaining a healthy body weight
