You are at a risk of bout 30 to 40 percent but it takes 10 years to progress to high grade dysplaisa ans it some time a total of 15to 20 years to progress to malignany.
Identifying and treating the causative factor for baretts is recommended.
Regular followup with your gastroenterologist.

For low grade treatment is not recommended as the lead time is very long . but the options available are radiofrequency ablation.
Photo dynamic therapy. And endoscopic resections.
The diet for patients with Barrett esophagus is the same as that recommended for patients with GERD.
Fried or fatty foods
Chocolate
Peppermint
Alcohol
Coffee
Carbonated beverages
Citrus fruits or juices
Tomato sauce
Ketchup
