Hello guys,
I had a small bowel series test yesterday morning, and as must of you know, I had to drink that nasty white stuff for it. I started feeling very gassy and crampy last night and I had a painful BM this morning(and of course, my stool was white) more than usual. My questions/concerns are:
How long do you guys think I'm going to have that stuff in my system?
Should I take something to speed things out, like MOM?
Can that white stuff make me C?
My stool wasn't really hard, but it had white little dry particles in it.
Any help, advice and info are always very much appreciated!
Thank you!
Blessings,
Abi

Ugh isn't that test lovely? So much better than a lower GI though!
After I had mine done (I had that test done twice) I didn't take anything medicine wise to move the barium out of my system. The morning after my BM was awful and really white but I ate normally and the next day it was much better (I even indulged some because I figured hey if it moved through me fast, it moved the barium out with it!). It stayed pale for a couple of days though. I just didn't want to take anything in fear of triggering my IBS but maybe others on here have some advice better than mine.
Sorry I'm not much help but I know what you're going through if it's any comfort.

I had that test last summer. I am c as well. Things were white for about 3 days I think. I didn't take anything for it. I just made sure I drank LOTS of water and got enough IF. It was gross, but it only lasted a few days, and I don't remember it making my c worse. I think I was a little more gassy, but just about anything can do that to me :P
