GASTROENTEROLOGY NERD ALERT: A VIBRATING PILL TO TREAT CONSTIPATION??

GASTROENTEROLOGY NERD ALERT: A VIBRATING PILL TO TREAT CONSTIPATION??

Check out this truly novel idea about how to treat constipation without pharmaceuticals. “An Israeli company called Vibrant came up with a remedy that works mechanically. The remedy is a small capsule that is swallowed and programmed to vibrate when it reaches the large intestine. The vibrations both relieve the constipation practically immediately…and also induce natural peristaltic activity, stimulating additional spontaneous bowel movements. The capsule is then excreted with bowel movements.

In early clinical trials, the Vibrant capsule almost doubled the number of bowel movements and achieved effective relief of constipation in close to 90% of patients with chronic constipation within eight weeks.”
