Western-Central Lower Michigan | I have acid reflux, led to a condition at the bottom of my esophagus called "barrets esophagus". This MAY turn into cancer if left untreated.
Dr first told me to drop the caffine, peppermint, hot sauce, chocolate, and NO ALCOHOL too. No late eating for the evening meal. I eat last meal of day at 4 430, and try to eat the larger meal at noonish. It didnt work, I had a surgery to "tighten up" the opening to my stomach.
Didnt work, so a gastroenterologist give me Radio Freq Ablasions (RFA). (microwave on a stick-sort of) where they burn the tissue over several treatments and that worked for me. My diet is still avoidance of above, but Dr said do just a couple of the diet no no's once in a while. I get annual "scopes" to keep on top of this so it dont get out of hand again.
