You should discuss all options with your doctor after you have the scope done. There is a different test for motility, which involves swallowing water with a tube down your throat.not the most pleasant thing I've ever had to do, but not the worst either. You could be eligible for the surgery if the condition is severe enough AND if your esophagus has enough motility (peristalsis action). If you're eligible for the surgery, that will stop the problem in its tracks.

However, even Barrett's may take many, MANY years to progress and, with any kind of luck, I'll have died of old age before that happens!Īlso, for some people with reflux, there is a surgery, called fundoplication, which can tighten the sphincter muscle at the base of the esophagus. I will be having scopes once a year from now on, and if it turns cancerous, they'll be able to treat it quickly. The good thing is, this is an extremely slow process! Really slow! I've had reflux disease for over 20 years, and it just turned into Barrett's this past year. Eventually, acid reflux can cause a condition called Barrett's esophagus, which is a pre-cancerous condition, and at that point, one should probably have endoscopies more frequently, like once every year or two. Anyone with reflux disease should have periodic endoscopies (once every few years.I have them every 3 years).
The only way to determine if your esophagus is damaged is through endoscopy. The best treatment is do minimize the acid by using a proton pump inhibitor such as Prilosec or Nexium never lie down within two hours of eating if possible raise the head of your bed a few inches so that you're sleeping on a slight angle (which will help prevent stomach contents from backing up into the esophagus) and, if necessary, lose weight. Singer, acid reflux can indeed damage the tissues of the esophagus over time. I'M JUST KIDDING!!!!!! " Thanks, Smithn.best laugh I've had all week!
"It will be completely sterile and I'm sure if you ask nicely, they will not use it for a colonoscopy first.
