Barrett's Esophagus: Understand the Risks and Treatments

A Guide to Understanding to Barrett's Esophagus.

Barrett's esophagus is a medical condition where the normal pink lining of the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach, becomes damaged due to acid reflux. This damage causes the lining to thicken and change color, turning red. Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, leading to irritation and changes in the tissue.
