Video Capsule Endoscopy
Randomization arm one is to video capsule endoscopy (VCE) a non-invasive procedure in which a patient swallows a disposable 1.0 X 2.5 cm 'pill' containing a camera electronically linked to equipment outside the patient which records images as it passes from the esophagus through the entire tract and is excreted in feces. It images the small intestine in areas beyond the reach of upper GI endoscopy and the terminal ileum and is similarly beyond the reach of colonoscopy. Its greatest use is in identifying points of bleeding and ulcers.
Next Day Colonoscopy
Randomization arm two is to colonoscopy, a test that allows the doctor to look at the inner lining of the large intestine (rectum and colon). He or she uses a thin, flexible tube called a colonoscope to look at the colon. Colonoscopy: The colonoscopy helps find ulcers, tumors, and areas of inflammation or bleeding in the large intestine.

Its greatest use is in identifying points of bleeding and ulcers. Video Capsule Endoscopy: Video Capsule Endoscopy allows for imaging of the small intestine between the distant duodeno-jejunal junction, which is beyond the reach of upper GI endoscopy and the terminal ileum and is similarly beyond the reach of colonoscopy. It is of greatest use in identifying points of bleeding and ulcers. 1.0 X 2.5 cm 'pill' containing a camera
