Has anyone had this - where you swallow the camera in the pill?

They don't think I have celiac (they are wrong!). They think I have Crohn's dx.

Yes, I had this done in New York at the Celiac Center. It was simple, swallow the pill with some water, walk around all day with a device strapped around my waist, and then go back to the doctor and give him the device.

Of all the tests I've had done, this was the easiest!

My daughter was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease this week and she was told that she was going to be put on a waiting list to have this done. We were wondering how in the world it worked, thanks so much for posting this!

Hi! I'm new to this forum. I wondered how does this procedure help diagnose for Celiac. My doctor wants me to have it done after I have taken Pepto Bismo for six weeks because my colonoscopy showed I have Colitis. I also had an endoscopy done and it showed gastritis not Celiac. I have positive bloodwork, however, he does not seem convinced it is Celiac. I'm getting discouraged.

I already know I have celiac but, they want me to do the camera pill to see if my celiac is so bad I need to be on pills for the rest of my life. I'm worried about it not passing and then I would have to have it removed through surgery. How often does this happen? I have to make a choice to do it or not and I'm scared. :(

Okay - my Dr. is saying that I have to drink a bottle of magnesium sulfate the day prior to the procedure? Did anyone else have to do this.

They are in for a rude awakening when they find out I have Celiac.

Some drs. require a "prep" for this test. Mine did not. He told me that about 40% of drs. use the prep because they think there is a clearer picture.

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
