Examination of the gastrointestinal tract with a barium meal shows a normal esophagus, with no hiatus hernia present. The stomach is within the normal limits of size, shape and position with good peristalsis and motility. The duodenal cap is normal as is the duodenal loop, other than for a diverticulum arising from the inferior lumb of the duodenum. This finding was present at our last examination and has not changed since the last examination.
