Next Steps After a Colonic Transit Test
According to the Article in Gastroenterology Journal
Options for Normal Transit
Normal transit means that the healthcare provider can explore therapeutic options. Many options are available such as Konsyl Daily Psyllium Fiber.
Options for Abnormal Transit
Abnormal transit should be analyzed through further studies and testing. Abnormality in transit is often the next step to uncover any underlying conditions.
Options for Potential Blockage
Blockage would require additional testing and diagnostics with the healthcare provider. Seeking the correct care to further diagnose and alleviate a potential blockage is critical.
