    I too have a weak stomach too and got thru it. It wasn't too bad and it helps that we didn't get a choice really :) gotta do what you gotta do.

    It will be fine!

    Typically the Barium is flavored ... usually vanilla flavor... it's almost the same texture as a chewed up TUM. You will get through it. At least they aren't giving you the non barium stuff.... gastrograffin ... it's nasty!

    I'm a Rad tech.... I do these exams... feel free to ask any questions :)
