Yes. Upper GI endoscopy
allows a doctor to view the inner lining of the esophagus, stomach,
and small intestine. It helps identify inflammation, ulcers, strictures or other pathology
associated with reflux.
Treatments include lifestyle modifications (diet changes, weight loss, avoiding late meals),
medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers, and in severe cases, surgical
interventions. Endoscopy may also guide treatment decisions.
