A member asked:
Large amount of bile in stomach.having 24 hr ph study & esophageal nanometer. 1.) can either detect pyloric valve problem? 2.)is this a helpful test
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Hi there. 1) yes it can. Both are right. pH measures the gastric pH should be under 4, and nanometer measures the closure of the esophagogastric sphincter that prevents gastric fluids to reflux. 2) they are super helpful tests in your case. Hope everything turns out fine, trust your doctors ;)
