Barretts Oesophagus, often known just as Barretts, is a condition that affects some people who have had severe reflux of acid and bile for a long time.
 
The acid and bile from the stomach can cause inflammation to the cells lining the oesophagus. If this happens over many years, these cells may start to change, becoming more like the cells that line the intestine. This is then called Barrett’s Oesophagus.
