    Failed capsule endoscopy

    My GI ordered a capsule endoscopy (pillcam) for me after my colonoscopy was normal. I went this morning to take the test pill to make sure I could process it…and yeah, I couldn’t even swallow it. I gagged and felt about to vomit every time I tried. I gave up. Now I’m really scared I have crohn’s disease in the small bowel and it will not be discovered. I’m still having abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss and I’m scared I’ll waste away before getting a diagnosis.

    Crohn's would have been found on the colonoscopy surely?

    I have Crohn's and that is how mine was found.

    You could just have IBS to explain all those symptoms.
