I had an abdominal and pelvic CT scan last fall when they were trying to diagnose me to rule out other things besides IBS. I had trouble drinking all the barium, especially since I blacked out when they gave me the IV (so they could give me another type of contrast via IV). They eventually let me not have to finish the barium, but they weren't happy about it.
My GI wanted to do a small-bowel follow through as a last test (after blood tests, the CT scan, a colonoscopy and an endoscopy), but I didn't see the point since she's was fairly certain I had IBS and I couldn't really afford any more medical bills.
Not sure if that helps at all, but that's what I've been through.
