Barrett’s Esophagus FAQs

Barrett’s esophagus can be managed with the right care. Here are the answers to the most common questions we hear.

What is Barrett’s esophagus?

This condition happens when long-term acid exposure changes the lining of the esophagus into abnormal cell types.
The primary cause is untreated acid reflux. People with GERD are at higher risk, though not everyone with reflux gets Barrett’s.
It usually feels like typical reflux, but many people have no noticeable symptoms at all.
We use an upper endoscopy to look at the tissue and may take a biopsy to confirm the presence of abnormal cells.
Yes. We use medications to lower acid, suggest changes in lifestyle, and sometimes recommend special procedures.
Not always, but the risk is higher. That’s why early detection and follow-up care are so important.
