Barrett’s Esophagus

Barrett’s esophagus is when the inside of your esophagus begins to resemble the lining of your intestine, and it occurs in approximately 10% of those who suffer from GERD.

People with Barrett’s esophagus don’t have specific symptoms, but they do face a greater likelihood of developing esophageal cancer. If you’ve had chronic acid reflux, you should see a gastroenterologist for evaluation.
