I agree with Hummingbird to get another opinion. One can be on Prilosec or other anti-GERD medications for an extended period of time. I never heard of Barrett’s Esophagitis though so in direct relation to that I cannot answer. But I can tell you that Prilosec is an antacid type of medication and any condition that would require extended use of such medications would require frequent scoping of the esophagus (every 6mo or so) to check for cancer or other complications of the disease (not the drugs). If you are not comfortable with your current doctors please go find someone else!
