I had a endoscophy june 2009, Gastronoligist said I had barretts esphogus,but it was very miniscule, also was confirmed by biopsy results. I have been on prilosec for over a year 60 mg 2 x a day and carafate sometimes along with gaviscon. I have been worrying about this for over a year, and gave up many things I enjoyed.
I was having burning in my stomach for the last month. so had a repeat endoscophy, got results back from dr, and he said pathology report said no sign of barrett's esphogus,and every thing was fine, he said burning was caused by bile in my stomach, so now I am taking priolec 4 mg 2 x a day and back on carafate 4 times a day. I should be joyful, but I am also worried and confused, because I thought this never goes away, and you always have it, could I have been misdiagnosed by pathology. or does it get better and go away.
please answer asap, should I contact dr again, I have both reports from dr.
thanks doris
