Summary
This study is a single center prospective randomized control trial comparing the utility of
performing capsule endoscopy compared to conservative management with oral iron therapy as
the initial course of action in patients with non-severe obscure occult or obscure overt
gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The investigators hypothesize that outcomes in patients with
non-severe obscure GI bleeding who receive conservative therapy with oral iron will not
differ to those on oral iron who undergo capsule endoscopy.
