Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I went through your post.
A thorough evaluation by a gastroenterologist is needed.
The difficulty in swallowing, weight loss with a history of Barrett's esophagus might indicate malignancy. But it has to be confirmed with an upper GI endoscopy.
The blood and mucus stool may not be related to it. A stool test and a colonoscopy should be done to find the cause.
I hope that answers your question.
