What Tests Should Be Done To Find The Cause Of Digestive Issues?
I m having digestive and bowel problems. My doctor has ordered a esophagogastrodenoscopy and colonoscopy. First, are there any other tests that should be completed while I m under? I do not want to be put under again and would like it all finished in one day? Thank you for your time
