Very cool, but as someone who has difficulty swallowing pills, I doubt I could get that down. Maybe if my life depended on it.

Im hoping for something like this that can check the colon. I also have a hard time swallowing pills as well but to avoid a colonoscopy I will figure it out. Heck as it is it will prevent an endocscopy so I could do it.

Colonoscopy itself is not that bad. They can sedate you so you don't have to experience the procedure.

The preparation is not so great with the bad tasting lemonade and then going to the toilet for a long time. But suffering through that is worth it compared to not knowing if you have cancer.

yup. the prep is the bad part.
