Esophogram Preparation


Night before test:

Do not eat or drink anything after midnight before your test.

Day of test:

Do not eat or drink anything. Your stomach must be completely empty for the test.

Do not take your morning medications. If you are an outpatient, bring your medications with you so that you may take them after the test. If you are a diabetic, do not take your insulin. You will not be eating until the test is complete. You may take your insulin once you are able to eat following the test.

If you are pregnant, or think you might be, tell the radiologist or technologist before the x-ray is taken.
