How is barium sulfate enema administered?
Barium sulfate comes as a powder to be mixed with water, a suspension (liquid), a paste, and a tablet. The enema will be administered by medical staff at the testing center through a atube that is to be inserted through a tube in the rectum. Barium sulfate is usually taken one or more times before an x-ray examination or CT scan.
Can you eat while drinking Barium Sulfate?
You shouldn't be taking a Barium sulfate suspension unless you're about to have a medical scan. It you're taking this regularly, you need to speak to your doctor. If you are only taking it once (like is normally done before a scan), and you are concerned, you can save up breast milk to use the day after, and then should be able to breast feed again after it has cleared your system without concern. In either case, you should talk to your doctor.

What is the difference between a barium meal and a barium swallow?
Both a barium swallow and a barium meal test involve you swallowing a liquid suspension of barium sulphate before a series of X-rays are taken of your upper digestive tract. In a barium swallow test, X-ray images are taken of your pharynx (throat) and your oesophagus (the passageway that connects your throat to your stomach; sometimes called your gullet). In a barium meal test, X-ray images are taken of your stomach and the beginning of your duodenum (the beginning of your small intestine, the passageway that takes food away from your stomach). A barium meal test is often performed straight after a barium swallow test. Barium is a naturally occurring element that appears white on X-ray. In these tests, the barium is given as a cup of flavoured drink - like a milkshake. When swallowed, barium coats the walls of the digestive tract, which allows the shape of your upper digestive tract to be outlined on an X-ray. Without the barium your upper digestive tract would be barely visible on X-ray.
