I work for a GI doc. Endoscopies can look for ulcers, hiatal hernias, Barrett's Esophagus (changes on the cellular level-higher case of cancer) and helicobacter pylori (bacteria that can cause ulcers). An endoscopy (EGD) can show inflammation which can indicate regurgitation (GERD). A barium swallow can usually tell how quickly barium clears the stomach/esophagus. A small bowel X-Ray can help detect adhesions, obstructions, diverticulosis etc.
