WMC is well tolerated in children as young as 8 years old. We found no association between WMC and symptoms, fair agreement with NMGET and strong agreement with CROM. WMC increases the yield of finding gastrointestinal transit abnormalities. Capsule retention in children is associated to prolonged colon transit. Larger studies are needed to further validate these findings.
