thewayneThis is exceptionally clever. It vibrates.
30 seconds on, 30 seconds off, vibrating as it works its way through your digestive tract. The vibrations help to stimulate the peristaltic response, and then the pill is 'ejected' in the morning. Some testers said they could sense the vibrations, but that it wasn't unpleasant or kept them awake.
It will be interesting to see how much this is when it hits the market. My dad had this problem for most of his life, I wish they'd come out with this a couple of years ago.

She recovered a pill cam that she had used - cleaned and sterilized it - so she could pass it around the class and people could see what it was like.
