Hi Rosemary
I Stay at hotel indigo for convenience Can walk through subway right to any appointments. This time I have 3 days of tests or appointments. First time I was here I had weeks of appointments with many different docs for other issues beside GI. I have had egg test for motility. And other motility tests where you do things like poop out a balloon. Crazy stuff but will do anything to feel better. Have ruled out UC and Chrohns but I do have some motility issues. Best test for SIBO is endoscope into small intestine if you can get one. Hoping this visit will be productive. Wish all your visits are good. All kinds of places to eat here but you and I don’t care too much about that but good for those with us. Headed to a barium enema test now. Wishing all the best

Wow keep me posted on results and treatment @keetafox !! I can’t be there for weeks . Days ok like 3 nights . That’s it .
I can’t afford every test they do either even w/ insurance.
I just had a second endoscopy & 3 rd colonoscopy Jun 2020 .
I’m sure that’s first thing they do again .
I will ask for those other two tests you told me about .
I’ve done about all the gastric emptying and C scan and ultrasounds , upper GI , stool sample , SIBO and Hydrogen breath tests . I still belch over 3000 x deep wet belches no acid fault / nightly and constant churning loud gut and intestines all hours day and night . It’s relentless and 7.5 years going . It’s ruined my life .
I’ve done ✅ a laundry list of things to try to help it .
It’s depressing.
I pray 🙏 this Dr will figure me out .
Best wishes !!
