Is there a correlation between acid reflux and esophageal cancer?
I haven’t kept up with these Barry/acid reflux threads. Possibly the question has been answered already.
Many patients with Barrett's Esophagus earlier suffered with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I would have a good chance of it except I got the reflux under control with a triple dose of Prilosec (another PPI would work as well). An endoscopic exam a couple years ago showed nothing dramatic except for some stricture.
BTW, as I posted last evening, the home remedies do nothing for me except for raw apple cider vinegar, but I couldn't tolerate it for very long (every few hours).
Yes. My daughter’s dad was recently diagnosed wit esophageal cancer. GERD runs in his family and his brothers all have Barrett’s esophagus.
