About

Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is a noninvasive diagnostic tool used to assess the small bowel pathology. The diagnostic value of VCE is mostly dependent on the cleanliness of the colon. Investigators are aimed to prospectively assess the quality of bowel preparation in pediatric patients receiving short peptide diet versus those receiving liquid diet.
