Hello @carlwgordon
I would like to add my welcome to that of Kanaaz in joining Mayo Connect.
You mentioned having a 3 hour test where you were scanned to watch how the digestive tract handled the liquid. Does this test have a name?
I am sorry to hear of the confusion you feel as a result of your doctor's recommendation to do a laparoscopic procedure in order to further diagnose the reason for the problem with your digestive tract.
Since you have doubts about this laparoscopic procedure have you considered getting a second opinion? A second opinion from a multi-disciplinary medical center, like a Mayo facility or a university medical center, might be a way to help you make an informed decision about the best route to take.
I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you keep in touch and post again regarding how you are doing with this decision?

I had the same or similar test a few years ago. You drink contrast at the imaging place and they scanned me swallowing it, At that time I was also had esophagitis. Then I waited a while in waiting area, then brought back in and they watched it going through the intestines. It reminded me of dark packing peanuts. I can't remember what the name of the test was though. Very interesting to watch!
