What Is A Capsule Endoscopy?
If you're experiencing unexplained digestive symptoms, there's a high-tech way to see what's happening deep within your small intestine without any incisions. At Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates, a small bowel capsule endoscopy uses a tiny, swallowable capsule equipped with a camera to capture tens of thousands of images as it travels through your digestive tract. This advanced, noninvasive procedure is commonly used to diagnose the cause of anemia, unexplained bleeding, chronic abdominal pain, or abnormal imaging results. To learn more about how this innovative approach can support your digestive health, connect with a member of our team in Rochester Hills, MI at your earliest convenience.
How Does A Capsule Endoscopy Work?
For your capsule endoscopy at Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates, you'll arrive about 30 minutes before your appointment to complete paperwork and be fitted with a special vest that collects images from the capsule. Once the capsule is activated and swallowed, you'll be free to leave and go about your day while wearing the vest for the next eight hours. Clear liquids can be consumed after two hours, and a regular meal after four. This advanced procedure helps diagnose conditions, such as unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, iron-deficiency anemia, Crohn's disease, and small bowel tumors. After the monitoring period, you'll return to our practice to have the vest removed.

Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates Reviews
I met Dr. Farshadsefat through a hospital visit and have had a procedure and office visit with him since, He is very kind , approachable and listens to what I say. Great bedside manner and seems very genuine. I'd highly recommend him for GI needs. The office is clean , and I had a great experience meeting his other team members such as Rosemary at the front desk who made check in seamless and made me feel welcomed as well as Kristen the PA who came in and introduced herself - this office is alittle hard to get ahold of over the phone BUT it's worth it to have quality care when you're there.
