- MY FIRST VLOG!!
Follow me around whilst I am prepping for my Capsule Endoscopy and the day of the procedure.
A Capsule Endoscopy is used to see the small intestine and identify diseases. In my case it is to see how active my Crohns is.

This was so helpful- getting one done soon and was grateful to find a video like this
I’m so glad it’s helped. Any questions just let me know x
Like a lot of other people in this comments section, I am having this done soon and I've been feeling very anxious about it. After watching this, I can rest easy! Just wanted to say thank you SO much for making this video 🙏💕
You are very welcome I’m so glad it’s made you feel a little better about it! 🤍 xxx
Mines in 6 hours lol
Thank you for being so informative with your journey. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis almost 13 years ago, I'm now 31 and during a huge flare I have been told I most likely have Crohns. My bloods and calprotein results suggest so, I'm due to see the Gastroenterology team for the first time next week to have further tests and confirm. I've been doing some research etc, your channel is really helping me understand and come to terms with the diagnosis!
ik it sounds ridiculous since i used to swallow HUGE pills but recently got a feeding tube and haven’t had anything by mouth in months, nothing makes it past w out throwing up so i was so scared of swallow the pill in a few days. seeing you swallow it w ease makes me feel so much better♥️ ik it’s old but thank you for this video love!! just hoping i get it down and it stays down so i don’t have to be put under to have it placed in my stomach
I’m so glad this video made you feel better! I hope it all goes well sending you lots of love 🤍
Currently wearing my monitor whilst i watch this, 10 minutes to go till I can have a light lunch. 10 minutes definitely feels the hardest 😂
Haha it’s so difficult! Enjoy the food!! X
@@Beckijackson_ munching some oreos!
Do you felt Any pain and discomfort during this test when capsule in your body ?
@@rabikhan280 Nah not really, maybe some very little discomfort, but nothing I can't handle.
@@iliasali1610 how long it’s take ?
Thanks for posting the video! I did it yesterday. Did you see capsule coming out after bowel movement? If yes, How long did it take to come out? I am freaking out since I have not seen it yet coming out 😢
FYI PillCam starts at 11:00.
Getting mine done on Friday - what should I do after I swallow? Will it hurt? Does poop out easily? Will it get stuck?
Having this procedure in 12 hrs, feeling a lot better about it now. Can’t thank you enough for sharing this ❤️
I’m so glad you are feeling better about it now. Keep well 🤍
Having mine in 3 and a half hours 😭😭
@@tonimahan7235 Hope it went well for you! Keep fighting the good fight! It takes time

How did it go?
Thanks for the video. I just scheduled my capsule endoscopy today. I have had already the colonoscopy and the upper endoscopy (down the throat to the stomach). In preparation for the capsule endoscopy I had to do a barium swallow study. Even though it showed okay, I had a lot of pain and discomfort after the barium swallow. They have told me that it wasn't caused by the study, but that it may have aggravated the inflammation. I am a little nervous about having to go off some of the medications that have helped the cramping. They have told me that in order to get a good view, it is needed.
Were you already diagnosed with Chron's before the Capsule Endoscopy? When did they put you on the Imraldi? I am at such an early stage of the process, I am not sure what all to ask, so I really appreciate your candor and willingness to share your experience! I just started taking a Prednisone drip and am also on Pantoprazole, Promethazine, and Hyoscyamine. The pain gets so unbearable at times and that is why I am nervous about going of for the Capsule Endoscopy.
Your confidence has given me more courage to continue on with it all. Thanks again!

Hi David
The capsule is a lot less uncomfortable then the colonoscopy or the endoscopy in my experience. You may get slight pain and discomfort but just keep walking if you can to help it all move through.
Yes I was diagnosed before having this capsule but I had one before diagnosis too. I was put onto imraldi pretty much straight after diagnosis after a course of steroids and aza (which didn’t work for me)
It can be overwhelming in the early stages and the disease is different for everyone but you will find what works for you.
I hope it all goes well for you, try not to be too nervous and if I can ever help with anything let me know
Stay well x
I'm going for it done in 2 wks thanks for your video really helpful ❤️
I’m really glad it helped. Hope it all goes well 🤍
I’m getting it on Tuesday and I’ve been so anxious but this makes me feel sm better ab it
I’m so glad it’s made you feel better! Thank you for watching, I hope Tuesday goes well for you 🤍
Your dad cheesy smile 🤣
Haha he was chuffed to be featured 😂
Currently got the double camera one deep inside me........on step 2.........don't know how I managed swallowing it......the prep was bad enough...didn't realise more laxatives are needed until it passes........I'm counting the minutes........Thanks Becki for posting this........you mum cracked me up when she said she could do with something to eat and a coffee !
Hi lovely, love your vid!
I have my capsule endoscopy next week, but my letter doesn't state that I need to 'prep' as such, and really doesn't say much about what diet I should be on or what I should expect for the day, I've found this really helpful 🥰 thank you
So glad you found it helpful!
I hope the capsule all went well and could get you some answers 🤍 x
I get my study done at 8am, it’s currently 12am now and all I can do is think about food. It doesn’t help that I just went to Costco and restocked my fridge and pantry this weekend. This feels impossible. I workout 5days a week and I’m not used to this at all!!! I typically have 3 meals a day and 3-4 snacks and a protein shake. I feel dizzy and lethargic. I’m also type one diabetic, I had to completely turn off my insulin because my blood sugars were going low from not eating anything. I can’t wait to get this over with! 😭
How did you get the pull can to show your imaging in the device
Is the capsule or a colonoscopy for crohnes worse? I just had a colonoscopy Thursday and I got a weird side effect from the oxygen constant sneezing and runny nose.
I personally found the colonoscopy more invasive. The capsule you can go about your day and don’t need any sedation x
Thank you does your biologic work my humira doesnt
@@lunithefoxfreitas2181literally I'm I suggest myself to colonoscopy is better but Capsule maybe better than I'm from South Asia Pakistan Really sick now 😢
Why the heck did they not do the PillCam that first time after you had prepped? That had to be horrible indeed!
I inject my belly and I pinch it. I am worried the pillcam will get stuck
Hi I thought with capsule endoscopy you have to lay down on table and take tablet as I might be having it done for acid reflux as can’t have the camera
Hey I’ve had it few times and have always been stood up when I have taken the capsule. The rooms I’ve been in don’t even have a bed. It goes down a lot easier then a tablet does
Hi thanks for getting back to me and hope things are going ok for u…. I’ve just seen it done few times differently like laying down and standing up but does look lot easier doing it your way just wondering if it’s done lying down to see upper gi tract and standing up to see lower one and thank u for this
I’m having one Friday I’m scared but watching you I feel better
I hope it’s all gone well. Glad I could make you feel a bit better about it 🤍
I've got to have this soon too . Not looking forward to it at all
I hope it goes okay, it really isn’t too bad like I say the lack of food is the worst thing but worth it to get the answers you need for your health x
So helpful, thankyou maintenance day not required; a beauty either way
Have this procedure in 2 weeks and this has been so helpful thank you!
Have you ever done a special diet for Crohn’s such as High Carb health?
Price of capsule endoscopy
I live in the UK so it is free with our health service x
Hi how long did it take to come out body thanks 😊
Thank you for this I need one done soon and I’m very anxious thank you 🥺
how long does it take to pass through?
Thank you- what is the injection for? Is it a medication for crohn’s? I am having my first endoscopy in 2 weeks. There is a possibility that I may have the disease- I have many of the symptoms- can you please respond, also as to why you’ve had so many camera endoscopes? What have they helped diagnose? Thank you! Natalie
Hey.
The injection is medication that alters your immune system, it’s given for crohns ans other conditions.
The camera endoscopies help diagnose Crohns and all pinpoint where the inflammation is x
Hi hope you are well ....Thank you, having one very soon. So helpful and made me feel a lot at ease about the procedure. Your a diamond.
Update? Getting mine done on friday
Hi there so you didn’t have movi prep ? I’ve had the capsule before years ago but couldn’t remember! I’m getting another booked in and hope I don’t need to take it. I had a colonoscopy a month ago and this drink puts me off! Feel better :)
Hi lovely, no for my colonoscopy I had picolax but for the capsule was just no food for a while!
I think it depends what area they are wanting to look at, with the capsule they wanted to look at the upper section so I didn’t need to clear everything out. Hope it all goes well x
I had a pill cam last Wednesday and I never saw the pill in my stool . I took a laxative yesterday hoping to see something but no luck . My Dr. said most likely I will not see the pill cam in the toilet . I’m an anxious person so I’m freaking out . I read some blogs that people have the pill cam stuck for weeks w/o any symptoms ( nausea, abdominal pain) were you able to spot your pill cam after a bowel movement? Thanks !
Did you ever get this resolved? Was pill out or lodged?
Did it resolved?
My colonoscopy, endoscopy ,ct scan,MR entrography is normal but I have stomach pain , unable to eating anything , weight loss 70 to 45 please tell me now what to do ?
its a IBS you have to go homeopathy
Your age ?

How conclusive were the results of the capsule endoscopy? Were the images clear enough for your specialist to make the appropriate decisions in treatment?
c. finlay yes they were very clear results and I went straight onto treatment after my first capsule. I think providing there is enough inflammation they will see it but when it is a bit more spread out they may miss it x
Becki Babbles thank you, sounds like a much less invasive method compared to a camera down the throat 🤢
Planning to get one soon . Any side effects from this?
No was all fine, you just get hungry! X
I just got my pill today
Su Amigo El Ilegal hope it goes well
This is so helpful.doctor recommended me capsule endoscopy.all i am worried is about the capsule getting stuck in digestive tract
I’ve had a few done now and it’s never got stuck, it happens really rarely and they can usually tell on the day that is passed through enough. I was concerned about that on my first one too and my doctor reassured me as well as telling me to make sure to walk around to help the cam move through
@@Beckijackson_ thanks.was your crohns diagnosed after and infection.i mean how did you get to know that you have it.
I got an infection.cold fever,sore throat cough etc.and after that abdominal pain.and next thing i got admitted in an hospital and doctors said it is more likely to be crohns.
