I was supposed to have a camera pill when the colonoscopy showed inflammation and small crohns like ulcers in the ileum. Its really the only way to see the small intestine in any detail and my GI doc and I wanted to see what the rest of my small intestine looked like. But insurance turned me down, said it was only allowed for mysterious internal bleeding issues. So I had to have a CT enterography which only would show crude gross issues with crohns of which I had none.

The cameral pill would have been cool, might have shown more pervasive inflammation and ulceration in the small intestine.
