I was recently diagnosed with Barrett s Syndrome and have found no relief from pain with medications given. I take two prilosec in the a.m. and 2 zantac at lunch time and 2 more prilosec in the evening. I also take Carafate 4 times a day. I have a severe burning in my stomach that comes and goes as pleases. I know it is not heartburn. Any suggestions?
