I had a glimmer of hope when I saw your post. But when I googled it, got quickly let down. I had a partial small bowel obstruction in 2019, have slow gi motility stomach
on down, pelvic floor
Issues. Also, on Medicare, which probably would cover or high co-pay if would. Oh, well. Momentary glimpse of hope.

I also had that glimmer of hope. I also found out that if you have any type of MRI scheduled you have to make sure that you had eliminated all the vibrantcapsules because it could cause some kind if intestinal damage if they were still in there. I am so surprised that my GI doc didn't tell me this because he knows I always worry about obstruction and have been known to to the ER when I'm terribly constipated (first thing the do is a CAT scan). I am on Medicare as well and if you get a preapproval from your doctor mine was about $80 per month. For now I am on IBSrella for CIC which is ok but there is no magic bullet here.
