Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all) I had my test for Crohn's today       #247846 - 02/22/06 11:19 AM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 I had the test before (small bowel follow through) but I must say having it here is WAY better than Canada. The barium drink was MUUUUUCH easier to drink and a lot less thick. It only took me an hour to complete the test while it took me 5 hours in Canada!!!! My doc should have the results back today. Please cross your fingers that I DON'T have Crohn's. p.s. Tommy took the day off and came with me. He bought me bagels for breakfast - after the test. He let me nap for 2 or more hours and when I got up he had gone out and bought me a BEAUTIFUL bouquet of flowers and..... Indian food (my specal request as I haven't had Indian food since I've moved here). YUM! Here's a public thank you to the world's best husband!!

The last time I had to have one of the barium drinks (for an upper GI) it was way better than the one I had a couple of years ago, so hopefully they are getting better with that! Did they make you drink something really, really fizzy first? All my fingers and toes are crossed for you, I'll be checking in to see about your results! I am so glad that you have Tommy there with you, that is so sweet that he brought you flowers and everything! Good luck, and keep us updated! **hugs** --Steph -------------------- ~~I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell-I know right now you can't tell~~Matchbox 20 IBS-D,pain.

I had to sit in a little waiting room the size of a closet and they would ask me to try getting x-rayed every hour or so. It was super annoying! This was a walk in the park. When the doc told me I could leave I kept thinking he'd change his mind and I've have to get undressed again and back into one of those hideous paper gowns. Yes the test started with a super fizzy drink but it wasn't as bad as the one in Canada either. It didn't taste nearly as bitter and icky. Maybe they are finally improving things for us patients. Maybe they actaully tried it and it made them throw up! ha ha Tommy is so sweet. He had an ibs attack at 3am this morning and he still came with me. I'll post an update as soon as I find out. I just read your post, I hope your week gets better. UGH! If it makes you feel any better, after today's icky test tomorrow I have to go to the gyno's. Fun, fun.

Did they keep making you roll around on the table? That was the funniest part to me... there was a guy in the room with me who I am pretty sure was only there to help me adjust said horrible paper gown every time they made me flip over 'cause it kept getting all tangled up! Yikes, what a terrible day for you!!! Good luck at the gyno. As my sister says, "Have a Pappy Day!"
