If your baby is healthy and growing well, the doctor may make a diagnosis of reflux on a parent's description of symptoms and feeding history, and a physical exam alone. However, your baby's doctor may order tests if he or she suspects a more serious condition, such as GERD. In these cases, diagnostic tests may include:

1.  Lab tests.

This can consist of various blood and urine tests to identify or rule out possible causes of recurring vomiting and poor weight gain.

2.  Esophageal pH monitoring.

This test will measure the acidity in your baby's esophagus. PH Monitor Examination is done with a thin, plastic tube with a sensor that measures the amount of acid backing up into the esophagus. This procedure is often done when GERD symptoms are present but an endoscope exam doesn't detect.

• The doctor inserts a tubular probe through the nose and into the esophagus. The tube stops just above the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).

• The tube is left in place for 24 hours. The patient is encouraged to engage in normal activities.

• The patient keeps a record of any symptoms that are suspected to be acid reflux. The patient also will record other symptoms, such as coughing and wheezing. This can help the doctor determine if acid reflux is related to unexplained asthmatic or other respiratory symptoms.
