Glad things are looking OK, Slipery.
lastsnare, welcome to teh board. Your idea is interesting. The technology exists today. One could swallow basically a large pill shaped camera one could purchase for $50, keep your phone near you for the next day or so, then email the file bluetoothed from the pill/camera to the phone to your physician, who could then review the MPEG and make decisions from there. Like, you look fine and eat more fiber, or you need to come in for a biopsy. Damn, there may be money in this. Oh well, another Dr.Hess idea will be stolen, developed and hit the market. Just like my idea for taking a small low light video camera, mounting it in a tube with a small 800x600 VGA screen display on the other end of the tube. Add a little electronics, image overlay, couple of buttons and you have a 4th gen equivalent Starlight night vision scope for a hundred bucks in parts. I though this one up >10 years ago. Sportsman's Guide sells one today for about $1500.

Who doesn't? Usually they tell you you have a hiatal (sp?) hernia. Some peeps say its treatible, others say it isn't. That's when you start prilosec, prevacid, nexium etc.
hmmm.. am I the only 40 something in the world without acid reflux?

What's next - a tasty (chalky) cup of barium? Yum!
Urgh. Never again on that one.
Believe me, it's better to drink the chalky stuff than having it put in from the lower end.
I might could beat my acid reflux if I could correct my diet.
the good news about barium.. it does a good job of blocking you up if you got a serious case of the runs...
I have colonscopey this is in high range and image view is specific for solve any problem. It is followed by upper endoscopy. I think it is best according its price for viewing a high range image.

Drank the magic gallon and will get to do it again in '15. I have had two endoscopes, one nap time the second one wide awake could feel the camera in my stomach!
