Hi

I am new here, still getting my head around how to use this website. I entered some data on the health interests page, but was unable to save it.

You are very welcome. Most people who use this site have had major surgery to remove all or part of their stomach and/or oesophagus, and others have conditions like severe reflux or Barrett's Oesophagus that has the potential for oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

At the bottom of each new post there are a normally one or two labels or 'tags' that the computer generates automatically. These form the basis for searching for specific subjects across the whole site, so you can read what has been written on each topic before. Otherwise you can put up a post, like you have done just now, and people will try and answer your queries as best they can. We are not medically qualified, but there is a great deal of patient experience to help you out in times of need.
