7 Common Gastrointestinal Tests

猎奇重口Children's uses the latest in medical technology for the least invasive, most accurate testing approach. Seven tests we commonly use include:

  1. Anorectal manometry evaluates constipation or fecal incontinence issues.
  2. Capsule endoscopy uses a video capsule to show places inside the small intestine that a regular endoscope cannot.
  3. Colonoscopy uses a flexible tube with a camera to examine the large intestine and part of the small intestine.
  4. Endoscopy slides a long, flexible tube with a camera down the throat and into the stomach.
  5. Esophageal pH and impedance monitoring, including Bravo wireless technology, measures how often stomach acid enters the esophagus and how long it stays.
  6. Hydrogen breath test (HBT) uses noninvasive methods to measure hydrogen and can diagnose bacterial growths and food intolerances.
  7. Percutaneous gastrostomy tube (PEG) and gastrojejunal (GJ) tube placements are inserts of feeding tubes for children who are unable to eat with their mouths.
