My mom just had some x rays done of her esophagus and they told her that her small intestine is narrow. i want to know if this is something dangerous?

Need more info: The info in the question is incomplete. An xray of the esophagus is usually an esophagogram where a patient drinks barium. Xray of the small intestine is an small bowel follow through. Did your mom had both studies? What symptoms were she having?
