I personally think they are a good idea to rule out any problems. I've had two done. The solution is by no means tasty, but it isn't the worst, either. The barium is actually more likely to cause C than D.

Even if she doesn't have reflux, the test will indicate if she has problems with transit time (too fast or too slow), which is a good thing to know.

I would see if you can be with her while she drinks the solution, if not while she's actually having the test done. I was fairly young when I had the first one done (15, maybe?) and my mom had to wait in the waiting room, and I remember being pretty scared.

Good luck to your daughter!!
