Fluoroscopy Department

Well got my appintmeant at my local hospital today to go to fluoroscopy departmeant for a BARIUM SWALLOW

Not quite what i was expecting after my ENT DOCTOR visit given mucus issues and throat.

Have to stay tad posative AS its not the follow thru meal.

But its funny AS i was going to do post on BARIUM ALLOY and IONIC DUST and lung disease.

Wel BARIUM is found in turbo's also bearing's and matalic paint and is resposable for HIGH END lung dieses.

If it is of any comfort to know.the material used in a Barium swallow is i believe barium sulfate and used in such quantities it is not harmful to the human body

Although barium is a heavy metal, and its water-soluble compounds are often highly toxic, the low solubility of barium sulfate protects the patient from absorbing harmful amounts of the metal. Barium sulfate is also readily removed from the body, unlike Thorotrast, which it replaced.i am sure there are others on the site with a deeper knowledge of the procedure who will vouch for its safety.

i believe you may be advised to take a laxative after the procedure which is purely to counter the effect of the sulfate which can induce a small amount of constipation.

I hope your procedure goes well ,best wishes ............skis

I had a barium swallow in 2015 Jeff and it's a walk in the park compared with a lot of procedures. You just swallow your little glass of white stuff, lie down on the bed/stretcher thing and then they tip it at different angles so that it lights up all of your gut area. I was told I had reflux and a hernia.
