How will I know if the capsule has detached after the test?

You’re unlikely to notice when the capsule detaches. It usually happens naturally a few days after your test. The capsule is very small and passes harmlessly through your digestive system before leaving your body during a normal bowel movement. You won’t feel it come out, and there’s no need to check for it. If you still notice any chest discomfort or swallowing difficulty a week after the procedure, contact your specialist team at Welbeck for advice.
