Diagnostic tests

Gastroscopy

Gastroscopy allows direct inspection of the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum.

Catheter Reflux Testing

This is a test performed over a 24 hour period to determine how frequently fluid and/or gas from the stomach refluxes into the oesophagus.

Bravo Catheter-Free Reflux Testing

In the same way as an impedance test, the Bravo will record reflux in the oesophagus. The test usually takes place over a much longer period (at least 48 hours).

Breath Tests

Breath tests are most commonly used to diagnose small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and malabsorption of sugars such as lactose or fructose.

Ear, Nose & Throat Tests

Patients experiencing symptoms in the mouth or throat may be advised to undergo special investigations.

Respiratory Tests

Patients with respiratory symptoms such as a cough or asthma may undergo tests depending upon the type of symptoms they experience.

Reflux Diagnostic Tests

Many of the patients we see in clinic have grown frustrated at being referred for tests only to experience extensive wait times or the results to be inconclusive. Our approach to diagnosing acid reflux is fundamentally different. We make it our mission to find the cause of your symptoms and to give you the certainty you need to make decisions about your future treatment.

When selecting RefluxUK you have the reassurance that any testing we recommend will be carried out by specialists in that field, and knowing that the test results will be reviewed by a team of experts before we present our findings and treatment options.
