SMALL BOWEL CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY
HOW
SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THE PROCEDURE?
You will receive preparation
instructions before the examination. An empty stomach allows optimal viewing
conditions, so you should start a liquid diet after lunch the day prior to the
examination and have nothing to eat or drink, including water, for
approximately ten (10) hours before a small bowel examination. Your doctor will
tell you when to start fasting. Tell your doctor in advance about any
medications you take, as you might need to adjust your usual dose for the
examination. Tell your doctor of the presence of a pacemaker or other implanted
electromedical devices, previous abdominal surgery, swallowing problems or
previous history of obstructions in the bowel.
