String Test/ Entero test for Giardiasis For this test, you swallow a gelatin capsule attached to a long string. The end of the string remains outside the mouth and is taped to your cheek. The capsule dissolves in the stomach and the string passes into the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum). The string is left in place for 4 to 6 hours or overnight. Then it is withdrawn and the end is examined under the microscope for parasites that are attached to it. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/string-test-for-giardiasis B.
