Gastroscopy
Gastroscopy - Morning of the Examination

Text

The duodenum and stomach must be empty during gastroscopy so that the physician's view is not blocked by particles of food. If the test is scheduled in the morning, one must not eat or drink anything after

midnight the night before the test. If the test is scheduled in the afternoon, the patient is placed on a liquid diet - such as juice, coffee, tea, or broth - for breakfast. Then begin fasting. The patient should not eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours before the exam.
