They gave me a swallowing test with FOOD with barium extender to see if I’m swallowing straight down into my stomach which came out OK. Then they had me drink the barium and took x-rays and it showed it going all the way down but they never really got into discussing it much with me which was kind of disappointing… I don’t really know why… And as I stated in my first POST, I didn’t really ask the Gastro doctor many questions I just wanted to get the hell out of there because I didn’t like him at all. I felt like I was being given a third degree and he was not nice to me. Terrible.
There were times that I got conflicting answers from different people which was very confusing and I didn’t know how to process that either. I think they do a lot of good but at the same time there are things that took place that just made me confused.

My barium swallow came back OK so that’s a great question I guess it was because I told them I get it. It’s very confusing isn’t it?

Ph Probe, Esophageal Manometry, Esophagram, Barium Swallow test. All uncomfortable.
