Question Title: biopsies showed esophigitis, ph probe showed not much reflux????

Forum: The Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases Forum
Topic: Gastroenterology - General


I have been taking reglan and prilosec since 7-198, symptoms
pursist so I had endoscopy w/ biopsies in Sept. The results
showed some esophagitis, A ph probe was done 2 weeks ago, but
not much reflux was seen in the 24 hours. I have migraine and
tension headaches with ocasional nausea but no vomiting. The GI
will do a gastric emptying on Oct. 16, he asked about an MRI on
my brain and will have one schedualed. My question is, what would
he be looking for? a possible problem with my brain? Why would
there be esophagitis but not much reflux, I still get GERD
symptoms nausea without headache, burning in my throat esp. in
AM, wird feeling or pain along esophagas.Could I just have had a
good day as far as reflux during the 24 probe and should it be
repeated? Thank you

Cathy

Dear Cathy,
Among the many conditions that can cause nausea and delayed gastric emptying is increased intrcranial pressure. An MRI will exclude structural causes for the increased intraabdominal pressure.
