My doctor told me that the hospital will call to schedule an x-ray. They called and I'm having a small bowel follow through with barium. I had an upper GI/small bowel test a gazillion years ago. I had to drink a chalky shake and then they took some x-rays. Is this the same thing? The woman on the phone confused me because she was talking about taking some drink that was like fruit punch before the test. I don't know if she was actually calling me from the radiology dept. Maybe she was just calling from the scheduling dept and she didn't know. She did say there was no preparation before the test. I just can't eat or drink past midnight the night before and no gum or smoking(which I don't do anyway)
Sorry for all of the questions and posts today. As you can tell, my mind is on overdrive. :)
