It is my understanding that an endoscope can find more than a cat scan or

MRI.

I agree with Tara that an endoscopy will show much more than an upper

GI or catscan. I, too, was having pain after eating in my pouch-this

out of the blue at 17 months post-op. Before we did any tests, the

doc put me on Nexium, suspected an ulcer. 5 days later-pain free

with no testing. If the Nexium had not worked, he was going to do an

endoscope.

That's what I'm going through right now. My doc doesn't think it's

an ulcer (I'm not so sure), so he put me on 2 weeks of Bentyl and a

month of Prilosec...no problem. But, a week after I ran out of the

Prilosec, the pain returned. So, renewed the Prilosec, and 3 weeks

later and 3 more " incidents, " I just today picked up a scrip for

Nexium. I'm hoping the Nexium takes care of the problem, but if not,

it's scope time.

In my opinion the scope will tell you a lot. They can look around and see

if there is a stricture or blockage of some sort. Don't worry about the

procedure it is really easy.

Hope that helps,
