It's a fairly simple test. You eat/drink certain food that's been 'labeled' with a tracer and then they measure how long it takes for the food to empty from the stomach. They'll either do it at the hospital or at an outpatient facility that has the equipment to do it. Talk to your doc about it.

I would assume they have done - or suggested? - a gastric emptying scan to check for gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying)?
