Diagnosed with Barrett's about 6 years ago but didn't know that there was surveillances needed. I just dropped alcohol, only has a smoke now and then and took Prilosec regularly and ate better. Still have GURD but very mild.

Had a CT scan for something else but the pics of my esophagus worry me. No pain or trouble swallowing but a bit of food comes up a bit after eating but I seem to always remembering that happening for years. Something about a weak stomach sphincter. Things don't look right to me and I'm scared. I had the scans for something else so my esophogus wasn't looked at. Thanks for any help you can provide.
