upper gi and small bowel though
Question:
Apart from the problems mentioned by others replying to your message, I also discovered that if the toilet does not flush totally, there can be a white deposit in the bottom of the pan for several days. At first, I thought it was my own output, til I realised it was "leftovers".

Response:
Thanks, I too have had it many times. But never this stuff sparkles. And I am on disability so extra clothes is not a major problem for me since I am pretty much homebound. But thanks again for the advice. UM MOM Susan

As long as you’re passing something you should be ok. I’ve had the barium "test" 6 times and once it hardened in my intestines. I ended up in emergency and had about a dozen enemas and the a gallon of the "go lightly" to flush the damn stuff out. Drink lots water and carry around an extra pair of underpants or two for a while (just in case). roreilly at merr dot com "Not true at all. Vaseline is manufactured right here in the United States."

It’s a good thing they didn’t tell me not to burp after taking sprinkles. I was loud enough to break windows! 
Now I can see why they would say don’t fart though! Sorry couldn’t help it. LOL UM MOM Susan

Hi Susan….. I often have ended up in emerg with severe bowel pain following an UGI and SBFT….best thing to do is drink a ton of fluids…the radiologist tells me that adding more fiber to your diet is also very helpful, but if you have IBD you usually can’t do that….. Last barium, I was told by the radiologist to go home and drink an oral fleet…..that sure cleaned the barium out!!! And in a hurry I might add……. Donna

A few months ago I had the barium again……and I had to drink the fizzy pills with NO water……almost impossible……you feel like you’ll vomit……I am now thankful for all the times that I was given a couple drops of water with it!!! Donna

Response:
Susan, I just had the test on Tuesday and am still expelling barium. Apparently there is a motility issue. Drink lots and lots of water, that will help. My pain is located at the anastamosis site. This was the first time I did not have the sprinkles, thank god. They always say put these down your throat drink this drop of liquid and don’t burp. DON’T BURP???? are you nuts lol. I think you will be ok, just keep drinking those liquids. If I still have some pain tomorrow will check with doc just to be sure. Isn’t life great? Connie — Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.

Response:
Can one have a bad reaction to it? I have never felt this way and I have so many tests in the past with contrast but never this much pain or so long to get rid of it from system. I started going an hour after I left the hospital and still going. And the water is still white cloudy after at least 10 times going. UM MOM Susan

Response:
The sprinkle stuff causees your stomach to fill with air when they are mixed with water. That way they can get better x-rays. Kind of the equivalent of your Dr filling your colon with air for the ’scope.

Response:
I just wanted to know if anyone else had severe pain when using the pottie to expell the barium? I had it yesterday with a very thick barium and the two thin bariums along with 2 oz of water with what the call sprinkles. I have taken a lot of barium but never ever experience being is so much pain in the lower gut like I was on fire. It was like passing bricks too with the splashing. I am still do it this morning but pain not that extreme and still running white. Thanks, UM MOM Susan

I just had that same thing done about a month ago….first time with the sprinkle things. My doc thought that was the cause of my pain (I had it just like you). I drank about a gallon of apple juice, and by the end of the day I was doing alot better. Hope you feel better soon Lisa
