A member asked:

What tests other than endoscopy can be done for digestive problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends.: The term digestive problems is quite vague so it is hard to answer your question with anything other than generalities. A ct scan, esophageal manometry, ph probe, barium swallow, small bowel follow through, gastric emptying study, etc.
