Who knows as yet?I understand there is a new treatment,I think call radiofrequency ablation.However,I think because it is new ,more study ,may be needed.For example,will it return at a later date or not?I do think it has work in as least some cases.Who know if it will return or not.I am interested in such things,since I have this condition.Also,will it help to prevent cancer or not?Maybe,only time will tell.I do ,of course hope there is more study into these matters.Maybe,someday we will indeed find a fix for Barett,s esophagus,whether radio ablation or something else.

- Antacids after eating and prior to bed
- Proton Pump Inhibitors (such as Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix)
- H2 Receptor Blockers (such as Ranitidine, Cimetidine)
You should also have an endoscopy procedure to make sure there are no precancerous cells in the esophagus.
