Had camera capsule test done and haven't pooped in 4 days

[Stephy Chelle]

I had my capsule test done on Friday and it's now Tuesday and I haven't had a BM yet. Should I be concerned?? I will call my doctor if I haven't gone by Friday but in the meantime I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue. Help!!!

Umm... No poop AT ALL? so no camera out yet?

I just consented to this, waiting for my actual test but if your camera hasn't come through yet, that means it might be stuck doesn't it? In which case... DO NOT WAIT til friday, they need to get it out asap!

I don't aim to scare you but one of the risks is that it gets stuck in a narrowing and you have to have it taken out...

Did you have prep before the test?
If you have no pain or vomiting then I would be tempted to see how things go. If you had prep then often you don't go for a while after....though don't leave too long
