What is Gerd? How it's Diagnosed
Tests to determine a GERD diagnosis may include x-rays after the patient drinks a solution of barium and lies down with the head lower than the feet.
In addition an esophagoscopy may be ordered. An Esophagoscopy is a test where a flexible tube is inserted so the gastroenterologist can have a better view of the esophagus to determine the best course of action.
