Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed through endoscopy with non dysplasia barrett's esophagus at age 40 last year in December. The only symptom l had was spitting up bright blood and clearing my throat. Burning pain of my rib cage to the touch after eating food. Was put on prilosec 40mg twice a day x 14 day then once a day only. About 2 months ago l got new side effects from prilosec felt like l have throw ups in the back of my throat. Was switched to protonix 40mg once a day developed massive gas pains in my upper stomach was switched to nexium 40mg. I am so scared. My condition has worsened. I felt a lot better before ppi's. My next f/u endoscopy is this December.

    Get a better doctor !! After reading hundreds of messages here , I start thinking there is something in the food we eat or the medicines we take that make us even worst. 

    Sorry to hear you suffer all these .
