The worst is definitely over. I didn't have any problems getting the barium out. I had my test done on Thurs. and I think it was all out by Sat. Your BMs will be white at first, but the barium shouldn't really cause any problems or get stuck. I just stuck to my usual diet of lots of IF and drank plenty of fluids. I didn't have to do anything special to get it out. Even if things are a little slower for a day or two don't worry about it. The barium won't get stuck or cause major problems. If you're really concerned you can take some MOM to help things move a little faster. HTH. Glad it's over with. I know it's NOT a pleasant test. Have you gotten any results? Mine didn't show a whole lot. But my Dr. said they are not very accurate tests anyway...which makes me wonder why they make you go through it in the first place. My Dr. did diagnose me with rectal prolapse, though, and I will be having surgery for it on Sept. 22. I hope I feel a lot better after that. Good luck with your continued testing and search for answers. I know it can be very frustrating.
