Great thank for your informative, clarified, and practical presentation on 24-hour pH monitoring test. It makes interpretation of the pH test easier than ever.
I came in for dysphonia and my vocal cords show no damage, tension, polyps, scarring, or acid damage. I don't think I need PPI, in fact I won't take them, and I now question the need for this test if my vocal folds are not impacted by acid. The only time I had actual reflux in recent days was because of medication given by the ENT that caused Gerd Like symptoms , and as soon as I stopped those medications, the reflux went away and I went back to normal. No heartburn, no swalling problems, no burping issues. So if I am not showing symtoms of reflux, but a barium swallow shows refulx with no esophagitis, then why would the ENT prescribe PPI and a pH test?

The best video to learn pH testing !!
Really excellent summary of pH testing and interpretation. Thank you.

I wish I had access to this information prior to my testing it would have been useful!
Many thanks for the excellent explanation, I found it really useful 🙏🏽
Hi! Are there any PPIs that do not contain lactose and sorbitol ? I am lactose intolerant.
Really well expained !! Highly useful- thank you
Excellent exposé
Also, is the 24 ph impedance good for burping/ belching?
Achalasia...difficulty in swallowing.
Had placed today I hope the maker gets sued and made to swallow a pipe and keep it lodged in his throat until the pipe decides to come out on its own
Wow, why what happened? I need to have a wireless pH placed. I’ve had the Bravo pH twice but was under anesthesia.
Thank you
Good
Ok
