colonic inertia

I had a coloscopy done which was normal so the dr said he was gonna send me to a colon/ rectal specialist then changed his mind and said first he was gonna do this test where I take a pill and then 5 days later they do a xray. HEs thinkin I have colonic inertia. Can you please tell me something about this

Hi there:

There is a decent article on colonic inertia at:
http://www.wjgnet.com/1007-9327/10/2465.asp.  

I'm not sure what test you are describing.  I don't think it's an endoscopic ultrasound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoscopic_ultrasound).  

There is a list of various radiological tests at:
(http://www.stocktonmri.com/Nuclear%20Medicine.htm#hepatobiliary)

Why don't you call the Doctor's office and speak with the Nurse or Receptionist and ask her for the full name of the test.  Once you have that, you can do some research to see what you are in for.

Good luck and Godspeed!  Have a safe, happy and  pain-free weekend,

Sam
