A member asked:
My instructions for my sitz marker test were vague. i took the pill right after my meal with a sip of water. will this affect the results?

Yes: Instructions usually are to take the capsule with a large glass of water on an empty stomach. The progress of the markers through the GI tract might be somewhat delayed. You should let your doctor know so this can be factored into the interpretation of the results.
