Have you heard of Barrett’s esophagus (BE)? Maybe you or a loved one has been diagnosed with BE. It happens to a small number of people with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). But, most people with GERD do not get Barrett’s esophagus.

BE is a change to the lining of your esophagus – there can be changes within the cells, which is called dysplasia – without symptoms. This change can increase the risk of developing cancer.

Our newest guideline breaks down monitoring and treatment recommendations for BE based on diagnosis and can help you or your loved one understand everything from…

📋 Diagnosis
💊 Treatment options
📅 Timeline for surveillance schedule

These evidence-backed recommendations are your starting point to understanding BE and reducing worry.

🩺 Join us Nov. 4 for AGA Gastro Bites: Shifting From a Reactive to Proactive Approach to Prevention of Cirrhosis Decompensation
Cirrhosis decompensation can be life-threatening—but it doesn’t have to be inevitable. This session will explore how proactive care can change the trajectory for patients with liver disease.
🎯 Learn how to:
✔️ Discuss the key drivers of liver disease progression, including gut dysbiosis and the gut–liver–brain axis.
✔️ Describe the burden of cirrhosis, from compensated to decompensated stages, with a focus on hepatic encephalopathy as one of the first complications of decompensation.
✔️ Identify emerging strategies to prevent decompensation, including the change from a treatment paradigm to one of prevention.
📅 Date: Virtually on November 4, 2025, at noon EST

Decompensation is an urgent clinical reality and a leading cause of hospitalization in patients with cirrhosis. Join us on Nov. 4 to address the importance of preventing decompensation during our Gastro Bites webinar.

✅Importance of high-quality endoscopic examination

✅ These findings, published in Gastroenterology, highlight the importance of combining IUS + f***l calprotectin to monitor IBD in pregnancy and help guide treatment decisions.

Gastroparesis — a condition that slows or stops food movement from the stomach — can cause nausea, vomiting, pain, and major disruptions to daily life. The new AGA guideline provides 12 conditional recommendations for diagnosis and management.

The big takeaway? 👉 There’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution. Personalized care, shared decision-making, and continued research are key.
