Diagnostic testing may include an Upper Endoscopy to examine the inside of your esophagus and take tissue samples. You may also have an upper gastrointestinal X-ray or an ambulatory pH test.
The doctors at Triborough GI often perform a 48-hour BRAVO™️ pH test to determine whether stomach acid is regurgitating into your esophagus. An endoscope is used to attach a small pH capsule to the lower part of your esophagus, after which you wear a receiver around your waist for 48 hours.
The capsule measures the presence of stomach acid, then sends the information to the receiver. During your 48-hour test, you’ll also note when you eat, lie down, or have symptoms. The pH capsule naturally falls off the esophagus and passes through your digestive tract.
