Re: Manometry Test Gone Bad!!....lol

Hi ,

Sorry your manometry was such a disaster ! I also had a bad time so I

understand.!

Being able to bring up food collected in your E is quite OK and good if you

can as it will stop the food from distending your E and also forming acid

over time. As Maggie says some advise that you should empty your oesophagus

at night to prevent food from coming up and getting into your lungs at

night. I would prefer that to taking the stuff to break up the bolus. You

could also try to make your evening meal a liquid one - some nourishing

liquidised soup that is not likely to stick and more likely to go straight

down. You can make this from any food that the family are eating - just

liquidise it and add enough water to make it smooth and liquid.

Hugs,

Joan
