Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 , It sounds like he is going to have an upper GI study. That means he will have to drink some sort of whitish mixture that has some radioactive something or other in it. It's so that the doctor can see the stuff going down and track it. They do x-rays every few minutes to keep an eye on things. If he is having a gastric emptying study, it's basically the same thing, but he has to lie down for about 2 hours. Nothing is painful. You just have to bring stuff to keep him entertained. Jodi Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
