Hello!
I had my SBFT this morning Gagged my way through 20 ounces of barium ( I couldn't drink the last 4).
They told me that the barium is moving really really slow through my system and actually had me eat mid-test to try to move it along.
I am deeply concerned that if I don't take a laxative I am not going to get this barium out of my system quick enough to not cause problems.I called my doctor to see if I could take one.
I am terrified to wait 24 hours to see what will happen.
I am already experiencing abdomen pains, a feeling of pins and needles and burning in my abdomen. I am also having chills ( I write this from under 3 blankets). Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
Also on a lighter and happier note the xray tech told me that if you think about food during the test it makes the barium move a little quicker. It helped me a bit.
