Hey Alison, I'm really interested to hear what your surgeon has/had to say about your situation. I'm 25 and just got the results of my EGD back stating I have Barrett's Esophagus. The GI doctor...
You could be on to something here. For the past 10 months, I've been VERY sedentary (sitting in front of computer all day), and it has been directly correlated with that ever-so-hated constant...

Hi all, I've been suffering from pretty bad acid reflux for about a year now (I'm just about to turn 21). I'm currently studying abroad for 6 months in Australia, but before I left my doctor said I...
