I'm IBS-D and had a barium enema several years ago. I had to drink a gallon of something called Go-Lytly, and that was the worst part. I rented a video and stayed near the bathroom. About halfway through the "cleansing" there was nothing but clear liquid coming out, so I stopped drinking the rest of it.

For the procedure they pump the barium up your butt (not down your throat), and it's a little uncomfortable trying to hold it in, but other than that it's fine. After, you run to the bathroom and it all comes out (it's white). No big deal.

Good luck!
