The purpose of this test is to evaluate the transit time and how fast or slow food\/stool travels through the intestines.<\/p>\n<p>The test involves the oral consumption of seven capsules over a six-day period, each containing tiny markers that can be visualized using X-ray imaging. By tracking the progress of the markers through the intestines, the physician can quantify the severity of transit problems and the results can be important in determining the need for other examination procedures and selecting the appropriate treatment options.<\/p>\n<p>The Transit-Pellets is highly effective for accurately evaluating gastrointestinal function.
