GI series w/Small Bowel Series/ Barium�

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if someone had this test done on them before? I had a

MRI that showed my colon was malpositioned (located more towards the

left) and now my GI doctors want to have this small bowel series done

on me to see if I have malrotation ("the ligament of the Treitz is in

an abnormal position and much of the small bowel is on the right").

Anyways I have felt good on this diet and do not want to mess up my

healing by drinking the ILLEGAL barium I have to while they take

pictures of my intestines. What have some of you guys done to clear

your intestines from this barium after tests like these? Thanks.

I wonder if cilantro would help since I think I read that it has a chelating effect. Does anyone know? I think it's good in chicken soup.

So do they want to know this just to know, or is there some benefit to

knowing? If not, I'd decline the test. But, then, I HATE barium and the

way it makes me feel.

I had a couple CT scans done over the summer. The barium itself didn't affect

me at all. The stuff that they mixed into it so that I could swallow the stuff

did (the first was scd illegal, the second was legal). Talk to them about it

before hand and see if you can bring in your own juice to mix with it. Tell

them that you have bad food allergies (I gave up on saying " diet " a while ago so

they take me more seriously) and need to be very careful about what you ingest.

The first place was not all that helpful but the second place (ha...the ER) was

very understanding and accommodating. I think the first was partly my fault

anyway. I thought I was JUST drinking barium so I didn't call ahead of time

otherwise I could have brought something of my own.
