Slight Barrett’s / odd chest & Rib pain

Hi. I am a 37 yo male. Diagnosed with small hiatal hernia at 18 as I had nausea, etc.  controlled it over the years with diet. Recently had a bout with some left rib pain and abdominal aches.  Went away for 3 months. Then came back with a few bouts of gas.  After getting these aches in my left rib, and sometimes right, doc sent me for and endoscopy.  Said I have very slight Barrett’s and some inflammation and put me on protonix. Also have small polyp on gallbladder that we will check again in 6 months.

He said the pain in rib (front and side) can be caused from this, and that it affects everyone differently.  I don’t have much indigestion and have a great appetite, etc.  I hate to doubt but it seems strange that intermittent pain can radiate all over.  Any thoughts are appreciated.
