@thull I think that might be called a Small Bowel Study. It is a lengthy procedure and interesting!

Here is a website that explains this procedure, https://www.cedars-sinai.edu/Patients/Programs-and-Services/Imaging-Center/For-Patients/Exams-by-Procedure/Gastrointestinal-Radiology/Upper-GI-with-Small-Bowel-Exam.aspx

It did take quite a while. I remember they had to give me a second gown to use as a robe while I waited because it was so cold in there. If I have to have it done again, I will bring my robe or a blanket.
I went back to gastro yesterday, and they are scheduling a colonoscopy to see how the reattachment site looks. Also have to go on iron supplement because my levels are too low. Haven't been eating very much meat and can't eat spinach right now while on the low residue diet. She said probably should take a stool softener if the iron binds me up. A liver enzyme was also slightly elevated (my AF) and they think it could be the TPN. Rechecking in 2 months now that I am off of it
