Has anyone heard of a intestial blood pressure test? Dr. talk of me having one but didn't tell me the name of the test, and i have never heard of this. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks :confused: Intestional Blood Pressure Test?

Hmm sorry Gal, i have never heard of that before.
Keep us posted sweetie,

Blood pressure can be measured in portal vein (which brings the blood from intestine to the liver) to determine an effect of damaged liver on circulation or to determine the cause of abdominal liquid collection (ascites). You haven't mentioned what's your disease about so it's hard to say more.

Mod. i have mal rotated bowels, ibs, bloating, belching, dehydration,swelling bowels at times, partial obstruction, or ileus, adhessions,back pain, and extreme abd pain. That is my main problems,(in that area) it usually is every 2-3 weeks. Thanks for your reply and any more info will be appreciated. :bouncing:

After reading about your condition I was thinking that maybe pressure in different parts of intestine could be measured since it seems you might have several "block" spots there. Intestinal bloat pressure or something like that could be the name of the test but I'm just guessing. Try to call the doctor if you are worried, or maybe the nurse on the phone will know the exact name of the test.
