A gastric emptying study for nausea, early satiety, and constipation imaging can't explain.
A wireless motility capsule tracks the full path of digestion, from the stomach through the colon, over several days of normal activity.
A wireless motility capsule tracks the full path of digestion, from the stomach through the colon, over several days of normal activity.
A gastric emptying study, performed with a wireless motility capsule, is the only way to objectively measure how quickly, and in which specific segments, content moves through the gastrointestinal tract. It distinguishes presentations that look identical clinically but require different treatment.
The capsule captures continuous data as it travels through each region of the gut. The physiological changes it detects along the way allow precise identification of regional transit times, data that no breath test, imaging study, or symptom diary can generate.
Where the capsule points to a coordination problem rather than a transit problem, we follow up with anorectal manometry to confirm.
Patients with chronic constipation, nausea, early satiety, unexplained bloating, or bowel habits that haven't responded to dietary changes. Also indicated where SIBO findings suggest an underlying motility component explaining recurrence.
