Hi Kathy! Sorry to hear about the tummy issues you are experiencing. I have been having some tummy issues also. I get these sharp shooting pains in my stomach (and elsewhere) and then I get really nauseous. My stomach sometimes burns and just hurts. There are no meds that I can tolerate that would help the burning.

I had two pill cams several years ago and it was prior to this recent RSD spread. The first pill cam failed, meaning it stayed in my stomach and took pictures there for the entire 8 hour study. The second one was successful because the doctor went down my throat with a scope and placed it where it would exit my stomach. If you are going to have a pill cam done and pills are not going down, I would recommend that you discuss this option with your doctor. Nothing like going through the prep (ugh) and all the time on the test for it not to work

Good luck!!
