Can you give details of the problem you are experiencing? I have Barretts but my main problem is hiatus hernia which causes food to "stick". I have been on pureed food, porridge and puddings for 3 months while I wait for operation.

I have been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and Barrett's Oesophagus last November. I was very scared as I had not even heard of Barrett's and was only given an information sheet from the hospital and told to come back in two years for another endoscopy. I am on Lanzaprazole and just eat little and often and avoid what upsets me. I am on a brilliant group on Facebook which has taught me all I know called Barrett's Esophagus Awareness. I also find this group very helpful and friendly and have learnt from both when the hospital just more or less told me to go away and get on with it!
