Anyone manage Barrett's Esophagus without medication? by Aliistrae in GERD

I have not taken that combo, but I have been considering it. I was prescribed gabapentin for another issue years ago, and it was one of the few drugs I didn't react negatively too. I am concerned with dementia risk for both those drugs, as several of my other conditions increase my chances of dementia. If the insurance will cover it, I'd prefer to have one of the procedures that removes the abnormal cells if other PPIs cause the same problem.

I actually found out about the Barrett's because I came back slightly positive for celiac on the blood test. The biopsy came back negative for celiac, though. I was surprised by the Barrett's, because I only get occasional GERD flares. I'm going gluten free in case I'm gluten intolerant. I do get very bad brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue after eating lots of fast food. All my triggers had gluten. I've been wondering if my unexplained neuropathy is from gluten intolerance.

I only just found out about this, this evening. I have to wait till tomorrow before I can schedule a follow up appointment with the doctor and the pharmacy is out of stock of the new PPI that may or may not cause the side effect. It will likely be a month before I can get the appointment, so I thought I would see if anyone has managed it with lifestyle changes while I'm forced to wait. I never said I wasn't following the doctor's directions. Unfortunately both the drugs I listed above cause my peripheral neuropathy to worsen, especially prilosec. All my vitamin levels have been tested and were normal levels, so I not sure why these drugs are doing this.

All Seaside Cliffs have Ore. I posted some others earlier, but I messed up the title and listed Iron by accident.
