Procedure Deviation ± Additional Meal Before 6 Hours
Snacks or meals may be recorded in the diary. A rise in pH and drop in temperature
may indicate a meal response in the stomach. In figure above there is no evidence of
an additional meal prior to capsule gastric emptying. See the figure below describing an
ingested liquid meal
Caution
Eating anything (except limited quantities of water) before the capsule has emptied the stomach will delay
gastric emptying and invalidate GET results.
