The capsule endoscope was introduced to the market over a decade ago. It is considered an addition to the diagnostic armamentarium for many gastrointestinal (GI) diseases including GI bleeds, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, and surveillance of familial polyposis syndromes. The procedure is safe but retention is the most common complication. Here in this report a case of celiac disease and capsule endoscope retention which caused complete small bowel obstruction requiring emergent surgical intervention. The patient made full recovery.
