They can show blockages, however when I had my partial blockages due to
adhesions in the past the blockages did not show on any of their tests.
It is worth a try though, plus they can show many other things beside
blockages.
My ulcer & hiatal hernia didn't show up on the upper GI in the past
either...they found them putting the scope down my throat. Guess my
body just doesn't cooperate with x-rays (haha).
Wonders me if they will show up now after all these years!?!
I wish I knew what I was looking at cause when I was put in certain
positions I could see the monitor but have no idea what I was looking
at!!
I said to the doctor "oh goody, I get to watch TV!" and he said "yup,
but we don't have cable"(haha).
I will know the results after I go to the doctor March 19th.
I will be picking them up before that but I don't know what I'm looking
at anyway.
The upper GI isn't bad...it is the stuff up the butt I can't handle. I
can't handle a BM let alone hoses or tubes.
