A pill cam endoscopy allows the doctor to look inside the small intestine. This is not intended to examine the esophagus, stomach and/or colon. It does not replace the upper endoscopy (EGD) or a colonoscopy.

The pill cam is a capsule that you swallow that contains a miniature video camera. The camera sends pictures to a data recorder, which you will wear on a belt. This data recorder will take 2 pictures for 8 hours.
