Have Baratt's Esophagus Detected. Had RIF Pain, Nausea. Ultrasound Showed Echogenic Foci Attached To The Gallbladder. Help?

Thanks for writing in XXXXXXX
From the details provided by you it appears that you have 3 issues to be addressed.
1. For the Barett's esophagus you just need to undergo surveillance endoscopy. In the event of any suspicious appearance in that region , a biopsy may be required. Otherwise the food habits which you are following are absolutely fine.
2. The liver problem which you have been diagnosed with is fatty liver. This requires attention as untreated there is a possibility of it progressing to fibrosis or cirrhosis.
You will require a combination of medications (containing ornithine,silymarin,tricholine citrate and sorbitol) along with increased intake of proteins. It will take at least 6 months of care and treatment for the fatty liver problem to clear. Your symptoms of pain and discomfort in the right abdomen can be attributed to the heaviness of the liver caused by fatty infiltration.
3. The polyps in the gall bladder are very small. Many a times these could also be incidental or artifactual. Therefore a repeat USG of the upper abdomen after 3 months is required to confirm their presence. If persistently present or enlarging in size with the onset of XXXXXXX symptoms then it could require cholecystectomy. But in majority of cases that is never required unless there is stone development in the gall bladder.
A pelvic USG will help in studying the uterus and the adnexa for any pathology causing pain.
I hope my explanation provides you with a road map for further treatment.
With regards
