Hello,
I can understand your concern for GI symptoms.
Allergies for different stimulus / source is autoimmune condition which is related to your immune system.
Reflux-esophagitis-Barrett's oesophagus is not autoimmune disease. This is related to laxity of lower part of oesophagus which allows gastric juice to reflux into oesophagus. Most common cause for this is hiatus hernia.
