My GI doesn't think the camera pill is a good test apparently. I ask about it and he said that he felt a colonoscopy was a better option because the prep was the same and the camera pill was not as good an indicator.

Don't you think that is an intersting response from your GI? That doesn't sound reasonable at all to me considering that the colonoscopy scopes ONLY the large bowel and very minute portion of the small bowel whereas the camera pill is taking 2 pictures per second of the small bowel... I don't even see how a doc can compare one to the other given the fact that they are looking at 2 completely seperate organs.

I would also like to thank you all for your responses... I was beginning to think that I'm the only one on here who's had polyps, but it does sound like I'm the only one to have had the 24 hour fecal fat test (which I think is odd).

Anyway, thank you so much for the responses - it's so nice to finally have somewhere to chat, ask questions and find answers!!!! You've all been sooo helpful!
