Gastric Emptying Scan

I've been having A LOT of stomach problems over the past year. I get full very quickly after eating only a small amount, I have acid reflux as well, and possibly IBS. I'm thinking of getting a gastric emptying scan to learn if my food is digesting properly or not. Has anyone had this? And if so, can you please tell me your experience? Thanks... I would really appreciate it.

I personally have not had this test, but wanted to offer a site that explains the procedure...

We can all learn by reading this and maybe see something that needs to be brought up to our our health team!


What has your doctor suggested so far? Is he/she willing to order this test?
