I have a question about the sitzs marker test that test how well your bowels move?

Question

Ok i took the pill for it Friday and went in for xray on Monday and there were still rings left and so i have one today and they were gone does that indicate there is problem or is that normal,. but the one i had to day there were no markers.

Answer 1

The x-rays are first taken 3 days after swallowing the capsule containing the markers (rings). The next set of xrays is usually taken 2 days later which is day 5. For a normal result, most of the markers need to be expelled by the 5th day.

Since you had expelled all of them by the time you had your second day of x-rays, it sounds like your results were normal.
