@keetafox i did ask because that pill cam endoscopy can get into places deep in intestines and colon that other endoscopys cannot .
The Gastro Dr. ( last one , not the one that I have televisit with at Mayo in Sept ) told me no . Can’t have it done because you must show some signs of internal bleeding 🩸. Insurance won’t pay unless you fit the right criteria. So I’m sure I’ll be have the entroscopic endoscopy this next time ( goes further into your small intestines but starts like other traditional one with tube down throat, into stomach into deeper in small intestines). I seem to have so much crazy volcano 🌋 noises which cause the deep 1000’s of wet burping from small intestines. Esp after my dinner is fully digested ( I eat at 5:30 pm ) it starts like 4-7 am bad !!
All I know is I’m sick of 7 years of this life . I’ll keep you posted on my Televisit Sept 7 th . Pray 🙏 pray pray 🙏. I will for you and others suffering too .
We need answers , we need more than .. oh you have Gastritis , or GERD or Eshphogitis , or Small Hiatal Hernia or Diverticulosis ( which I have all of ). Plus 5000 deep wet belches and constant churning , grinding , loud gut . I’ve tried everything!! The only thing I take now is Ultra Pepto 1-2 x day . Doesn’t stop the belching but calms the gut for about 1/2 hour . It’s exhausting….

I hate to see any of us suffering with whatever we have going on. I can't say what it is as the doctors simplify the diagnosis too much. I had thought that this upcoming scope was a Bravo procedure but I learned later on that it is not. Just an endoscopy with a few biopsies to be taken. Same old, same old. I don't expect anything constructive to come of it, but trying to remain somewhat optimistic. Someone on a post commented that nothing can be done for my symptoms except a strict acid watchers diet. That is so depressing to me and not helpful in my current state of mind. I think it ironic that most people hope for no significant findings when they have a procedure. Sadly, we hope they will find something so at least we know what we're dealing with. All the best to you when you have yours done. Mine is Thursday and I will post results one way or the other. In the meantime, prayers for all of us who struggle.
