Hi my name is Teri and I'm from the Allergy and Cardiac Forum, some of ya'll may know me from there.
Though, I do have other health problems~They encompass having a hiatal hernia and GERD with Barrett's esophagus and mild dysplasia. The dysplasia indicates that you have to go in yearly for an endoscopy for them to take biopsies to make sure it hasn't progressed to cancer. And since both my parents had cancer and I lost my Mom very recently to that Cancer, I have to admit that I was worried. I had another endoscopy done again this year a couple of months ago and I wanted to share the news that my dysplasia is gone! It's just not there any more. The Dr. told me that this happens occasionally.
I wanted to let you all know, that I did follow a diet and took my medications and stopped caffeine, and many other stomach irritants, so I did my part, too. :) But I thought it was worthwhile sharing my story to let you know that there is hope~always.
Best Wishes to you all and Big Hugs, Teri
