Several diagnostic tests assist in assessing gastric function:
Gastroscopy: A procedure that allows direct visualization of the stomach lining and helps identify inflammation, ulcers, or tumors. pH Monitoring: Measures the acidity in the stomach, aiding in the diagnosis of GERD or other acid-related disorders. Barium Swallow: An imaging test that evaluates the movement of the stomach and esophagus, helping to identify structural abnormalities or motility disorders. Gastric Emptying Study: Assesses how well the stomach empties its contents, useful for diagnosing conditions like gastroparesis.
