Technique: 2.6 os of fluoroscopy was utilized. Double contrast study of the upper GI and small bowel was performed with barium. Examination is limited due to physical disability of the patient.

Findings: Esophageal mucosa shows no focal abnormalities. No definitive ulcerations or mass lesions identified. Intermittent hernia and gastroesophageal reflux are noted. Within the stomach, no focal abnormalities identified. Passage of contrast material
from the stomach into the small bowel is without any obstructive lesions. No dominant mass lesions identified. There is no evidence of obstruction. The contrast material is seen in the colon in 15-20 minutes. The terminal ileum shows no gross
abnormalities. Few loops of ileum however show mild fold thickening which could represent a nonspecific inflammatory process. This is seen distally in the ileum.

IMPRESSION: Intermittent hiatal hernia and reflux from the stomach into the esophagus. Mild nonspecific fold thickening in few loops of ileum.

This is generally a pretty good report. It mostly says that everything looked normal. The only questionable area was some mild inflammation in the terminal ileum - which is the most common site for Crohn's inflammation.

So what does the rest of your case look like? What and how bad are your symptoms? Any blood work or stool testing? It's hard to conclude much based on this imaging report alone.
