A member asked:
Will an upper gi endoscope detect an overgrowth of yeast all the way down as far as the scope will go?what happens if they find it that far down
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The endoscope can see changes of fungus in the esophagus. It usually isn't found in the stomach or small intestine. Medication (antifungal) can eradicate the infection.
