Re: What kind of test is this?       08/11/03 02:49 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - Here's info "Colorectal transit study. This test, reserved for those with chronic constipation, shows how well food moves through the colon. The patient swallows capsules containing small markers that are visible on an x ray. The movement of the markers through the colon is monitored with abdominal x rays taken several times 3 to 7 days after the capsule is swallowed. The patient follows a high-fiber diet during the course of this test." That's all I've been able to find with a quick search... - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
