EGD: You should have the stomach and duodenum evaluated with upper endoscopy, also called esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (egd). Regular xrays will not show details about the lining of the stomach, the most likely source of your symptoms. Egd is much more sensitive than upper GI xrays at identifying subtle inflammtion.
