Oh my! That Ph Impedance test sounds rough. What are they looking for? Esophageal issues? I did one of those Barium Swallow tests that looked at my Esophagus, Esophageal Sphincter, and Small Intestine. Mine didn't find anything though, so I suppose my Gerd is all due to the MALS. Wishing you the best. Let me hear from you and how your test goes.

Thankyou! They are looking for stomach acid and erosion as well as my esophagus may have a flap not working properly and may need surgery for this. It’s not a fun test but very necessary. I have a celiac plexus block on Friday. Have you had this test yet for Mals? Do you have issues eating? Pain?

They are looking for why I’m having such severe pain after eating. And even if I haven’t eaten. Also if my esophagus flap isn’t working properly. They will do surgery to repair it to keep it from letting stomach acid back up. The test is not easy. It’s a 24 hour test They place a tube through nose to stomach to esophagus. Kinda makes it hard to eat and even drink. But it’s an important test. I have a celiac plexus block on Friday? Have you had that test yet for your Mals?
