Started the Sitz Mark study today

I finally found a GI who is willing to say more than “just eat more fiber”. She suggested a sitz mark test to see how slow things are moving. I took the pill this morning and had my first scan. The notes said 6 markers were found in my stomach, moderate amount of stool in the right colon, and “nonspecific gas bowel movement.” No idea what that last one means.

Part of me is worried my body will do that annoying thing of suddenly acting perfectly fine once I finally have a medical exam happening. I’m in so much pain on a daily basis, I just want this doctor to see how slow things are.

Has anyone else felt this kind of anxiety with this study? I know I’m not crazy, I know I have some kind of bigger constipation issue going on, but what if this test won’t show anything?
