Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, or EGD, is a procedure that uses a flexible tube with a light and camera to examine the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). During this procedure we can look for inflammation, ulcers, bleeding and tumors. Biopsies are often taken through the endoscope.

Colonoscopy Prep

You must start eating a low-residue diet 2 days before your colonoscopy. A low-residue diet is where you eat very few foods that are high in fiber or are hard for your body to digest. This is the opposite type of diet that is generally recommended. For the purpose of the colonoscopy it helps with the entire clean out process. Fiber is made up of plant material that can’t be completely digested by your body.
