Overtime, the acid can also do damage to the cells of your esophagus causing a condition called Barrett's Esophagus. This is not dangerous in and of itself but is considered a precancerous condition and requires monitoring. permalink fedilink source parent [β] jadedwench@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Until you have woken up choking on acid that went in your lungs, you will not understand. I have EOE, and it really really sucks. I highly recommend not damaging your esophagus. I have spent years barely being able to eat without choking, though this latest round with the new doctor has been the best I have been in over a decade. Once your esophagus narrows to under 10mm, eating is a chore. Worst I ever got down to was 5mm. It was around ~7ish back in November... I keep things under control pretty well, but I was always taught to sleep on my left side growing up if your stomach was upset or you were having trouble breathing if you were sick. permalink fedilink source parent [β] BangelaQuirkel@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago Itβs corroding you from within. permalink fedilink source parent
