small intestine

Mr Lamah decided the best approach was to remove a part of her large intestine, the colon, and connect it to her small intestine.

The bottom curve of our stomach has a channel called the Magenstrasse or "stomach road" which allows liquids to flow quickly into the small intestine where it can be absorbed.

When consumed, they are absorbed in the small intestine and transported via lipoproteins in the bloodstream to be stored primarily in fat-rich tissues, including the subcutaneous layer of the skin.

The capsule then began its journey through the stomach, small intestine and large intestine to collect information about pH, temperature and pressure.

They found increased permeability of the small intestine, most likely due to intestinal inflammation.
