    Hi

    I had it done just over a yr ago. It carries less discomfort than endoscopy.

    Manometry gets done in clinic and you will see how yr

    muscles and spincters work. Its interesting.

    After that u get a thinner ph tube in. Ull have that inside for a day. Itll come with a recording device u need to carry with u.

    U will learn how are yr peristaltic movements, both oesophageal valves are and also if acid escapes and when.

    Endiscopy showed what yr digestive tract looks like now.

    Now they are trying to determin the culprit.

    Best if luck. X
