Learn the Risks
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease is a chronic condition that may be associated with
serious long-term risks.
Barrett's Esophagus
Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which the tissue in the esophagus, the tube
that carries food from your mouth to your stomach, changes and becomes similar to
the tissue that's found in the intestines. Barrett's esophagus is a serious condition
that can signal an increased risk for esophageal cancer.
Esophageal Stricture
Esophageal stricture is when the esophagus narrows or becomes obstructed. Built-up
scar tissue can block the movement of food and drink, making it difficult to swallow.
People suffering from esophageal stricture often experience less heartburn at the
onset of the condition.
