So I had raised faecal calprotectin 2nd result 309 so private gastroenterologist set up for me to have a pill cam. Only thing is, got it Wednesday 10am & by lunchtime the recorder had broken! So they got 3 hours filmed. So not only alot of wasted time off/travelling etc....but my problem is...my pill cam hasn't seen the light of day yet.... (test was Wednesday 10am) how long do they say it takes for the pill cam to pass through. I had hoped a few days. Also last question has anyone ever had one of these pill cam get stuck ? & how did they get it out? I've been told they leave it for 2 weeks until they check where it is located In the bowel Thanks for any advice 🙏
