Actually it’s a nutritional thing. You are a victim of the Standard American Diet (SAD). It is not genetic. It runs in the family because you eat the same thing. I got rid of mine permanently. Google Dr Joel Wallach and acid reflux.
Will check it out. My brother’s Endoscopy showed signs of Barretts but it could be a false positive, he has to take Prilosec for a few months and do a retest. Same thing happened to my Mom a few years back, came back positive, took the meds(Protonix) and it came back negative

Exactly! I suffered from stomach distress for decades, taking acid-reducing drugs daily for more years than I can remember. I underwent quite a few endoscopies and acid tests.
The problem went away completely after I switched to a low-carb high-fat diet. I haven't had any stomach (or esophagus) issues in over 6 years. No more pills. No more anticid.
