Barium swallow/gastrografin xray test - side effects?

[no onions 258]

Hi all - had my xray testing today and all is well (no leaks) and I've been advanced to delicious purées of my own choosing.

All of that said, did anyone else get diarrhea and gas as result of your swallow test? My digestive tract has been vocal (grumbly) and active (take another seat) most of the day.

Thanks in advance.

In hindsight, I did have some GI issues the night after my swallow test. I had it the second day of the three days I was in the hospital and I distinctly remember having such a violent poop in the middle of the night that someone in the hallway outside my room heard my disgusting pooping noises and laughed their butt off. I was high and sick and fairly miserable so at the time I didn't care, but hahaha, it is a funny memory now!

Thank you @AvaFern. :-)

I've healed enough that the laughter(from your post) didn't hurt too bad!
