Upper endoscopy or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with BRAVO pH test is a visual examination of the lining of the esophagus, stomach and the first portion of the small intestine
(duodenum).

Thank you Colleen for the information.
I opted out of the bravo, decided with risk was too great.

I appreciate your time and everyone here, this has been full of valuable , often first hand information..

Good health to all!
