      I was diagnosed only a year ago at 24, I have a hiatus hernia too, which is what caused the Barratts, no advice on weight loss sadly but you're not alone in the young diagnosis šŸ’•

      Well maybe you could try to eat/drink what will help to keep your body in an alkaline state. You can look those lists up online for alkaline foods vs acidic foods. I know lemon in water is a good drink that helps to do that. Omit or limit sugary foods and drinks. If you have high stress levels use Ashwagandha and/or Rhodiola to help your body deal with it. I would limit any foods that cause you heartburn. Eat small amounts but more often, as eating too much at once can cause problems too. All things in moderation. Since I cut back on my nighttime eating and on sugary foods, I hardly get heartburn anymore. Donā€™t take things like Advil, Aleve or Excedrin or Aspirin unless itā€™s with food. They were probably the main cause of my Barrettā€™s. I took a ton of them in my young adult years due to being in pain a few days of every week of my life (now I have it everyday and every night, yay). I got Barrettā€™s at 45 and I thought that was young. So you are way too young! Thatā€™s awful. But thankfully it was caught before it turned worse. Do you smoke? I donā€™t but I know it can also contribute to the damage. Hope some of this helps. Feel free to write if you have any questions or need help finding alkaline /acidic charts. ~Mary
