Brief summary
The purpose of this research is to establish the normal range of diameter and distensibility of pylorus and the fasting and postprandial antro-pyloric motility in healthy adults.
Detailed description
An Endoflip catheter will be placed through the mouth into the stomach in order to measure distal antral contractile activity and pyloric diameter and distensibility during fasting and after the ingestion of a standard meal
Interventions
Endoflip device to measure gastric and pyloric functions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| fasting and postprandial pyloric diameter | 1 hour prior to meal and 1 hour following standardized meal | Change in Pyloric diameter will be measured during fasting and postprandial using Endoflip |
| fasting and postprandial pyloric distensibility index | 1 hour prior to meal and 1 hour following standardized meal | Change in Pyloric distensibility index will be measured during fasting and postprandial using Endoflip |
| fasting and postprandial distal antral motility index | 1 hour prior to meal and 1 hour following standardized meal | Change in distal antral motility index will be measured during fasting and postprandial using Endoflip |
