I have a question about pain that comes with crohn's disease . I have had a recent endoscopic, that indicated I have Barrett's esophagus and duodenitis that was inflamed. but have not been diagnosed with Crohn's disease. What do I need to help with pain management? Some time the pain is unbearable.

Thank you for your question!

Pain in your case is due to duodenitis. It will be burning in nature in the epigastric region.
Pain is due to excess amount of gastric acid production and reflux of acid into esophagus due to low esophageal sphincter tone (which help preventing acid reflux into esophagus). Crohn's disease is a different entity. Your pain is not related to Crohn's disease.

Take pantaprazole tablets twice daily for 10 days. It gives symptomatic relief.

Avoid alcohol, smoking, caffeine and late night dinner. These measures will keep your esophageal sphincter in a good tone.
