what dosage you should be taking.
I assume you don't know what you're talking about. Barret's esophagus is a 'dysplasia' and a premalignant disease of the mucosa of the last part of the esophagus which develops after profound reflux disease. Thus, one suffering from reflux disease may eventually develop Barret's esophagus, but these two entities aren't synonymous
