Hi. Just wanted to say... anyone who is struggling with anxieties after being diagnosed with barrets or worried about developing it I understand completely what you are going through. I hardly ever post comments on youtube vids but today I just want people to know that the biggest fear sometimes can be fear itself. I struggle with major anxiety over different things in life and 5 years ago roughly I had 2 endoscopies. First endoscopy said I had 2 cm barrets but my biopsies were normal. After having some really scary symptoms including things like sudden weight loss I was referred for an urgent endoscopy. This one showed no evidence of barrets and my biopsies were normal. The hardest thing imo to do is trying not to worry and control anxiety. This for me was almost impossible but the best thing to do which worked for me was keeping active with work and exercise. Difficult to do when I was frozen with fear and spent nearly 2 months sitting in an arm chair worrying and chewing it over in my mind but I managed to get back into my work and my sport Thaiboxing and this helped loads with anxiety. Controlling anxiety is extremely important with physical health. I'm not a health proffessional but anyone wanting to chat about their worries is welcome. I'll check in every couple days on here
Giving people the hope they need! This doctor deserves a Nobel Prize!
She indicated Barrett's is reversible. I've searched all over the internet and cannot find evidence to support that claim. I hope she is right about that. Does anyone have evidence to support the claim that Barrett's IS reversible?
i had a biopsy done. mine is confirmed. i suffer chronic chest burning. i don't want to wait to develop cancer.

Thank you Dr Jamie,Im very encouraged by your frankness. I started to watch your videos three days ago,and you made a believer out of me. Im going with the no food after 6pm,..alkaline water,and almond milk,.only,..,.. grazing with rolled oats(3,.0z) 3x a day,and white meat... Thanks again.. ..I went to the Doctor, he did an endoscopy and diagnosed me with Barretts,as well as esophagitis ,Grade C ..but he did not see the results from the biopsies(14) ,..so we are both waiting for the results...
What well explained. My respect to the doctor.🌹
I was just told this morning i have it. Kind of freaking out. I don’t eat meat at all. I don’t smoke. I feel like i don’t know what to eat. I would love to know what some people are doing to help with their Barrets
Thank you. I want to talk to you because I was told I have barretts esophagus. I need more answers and a better way to cure this.
Thanks Jamie, you bring a lot of comfort to people. I cannot abide PPIs and think the medical establishment should start moving away from this destructive type of 'cure all'.
Hi everyone I just wanted to say I am 29 I got diagnosed with barrets esophagus when I was 27 I stopped drinking alcohol and took omelrozole and I also don't eat spicy food
Dr Jamie Koufman thank you for everything you are doing for me and everyone else.
Thankyou so much, I was petrified after being diagnosed with barrett esophagus.I'm relieved now!
Dr. Jamie! I used to code CPT for you years ago in NC. Congrats on all your success! I love your channel.
Ohh my!! An honest MD. Love the honest ones.
Thank God for this woman! She has given hope to so many!❤️
Thanks Dr Jamie for sharing this info my wife her name is Jamie too was told she had Barrett's esophagus just last month she too went for a colonoscopy and since it was 10 years since her last endoscopy Dr did one as well she suffers from acid reflux alot and has an appointment this week about how to treat going forward were 53&52 yrs of age respectively I don't want her to suffer and she's scared of the big C WORD I will share this video with her today THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR INFO!!
Thank you so much ! Wish you were my doctor !
This gives me such hope! I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been so worried for several months since I was told I have Barret’s Esophagus. When I look at my endoscopy report I’m confused if I really have it. How can I come to see you? Where are you located? Are you in USA or another country?
Omg she just made me feel better. I have never smoked I don't drink hate it but have barretts. Once I read nexium could cause kidney problems I stopped taking it. I'm overdue a scope but sure would like this Dr to do it. My Dr says you have a. 0001% chance of developing cancer due to weight, no smoking and no alcohol. I have no idea what caused it then. I out on a few lbs and was getting a little heartburn but after they found this I'm back to 185lbs at 6'2. I read low dose aspirin Lowers your risk of esphogeal cancer as well and all GI cancer.
