I had the barium swallow procedure done and I can not understand the youtube videos than I have seen making it sound like the liquid tastes so horrible. That was not my experience. It would be worse to have to drink pure lemon juice. The barium was a bit chalky but not as bad as I expected the baruim to be. Don't worry yourself about doing this test. My experience was o.k.

Mark G. It tasted fine to me too. But the swallowing part was difficult. It's cuz I have PSS(Progressive Systemic Sclerosi). A skin disease that affects your joints, esophagus, lungs, etc.... But I still did good though for my 1st time.

@@user-cj4sq6pb1c yea, youre monitored while you eat and drink the stuff, I had cookies or Graham crackers that were dipped in pudding that is mixed with the barium. They make you chew thoroughly before swallowing and follow the swallow with an x Ray type machine. It wasn’t bad at least in my experience

Thanks a lot for your GREAT video. I just want to add one more thing: Please, use a flexible straw. And do NOT touch the tips of the straw (or cup). Or if it fell down on the bed, use a CLEAN straw. We don't like to get sick because of a dirty straw! Thanks

Bmc made me use a regular pillow it was too high and it hurt my neck! Had me on my belly with left leg up and excruciating amount of weight on my right shoulder. In pain and expected to swallow in addition to an already painful inconsistent swallow ended up choking on barium and having to spit it out in a bag. They then gave my water while laying on my back it went into my sinuses!

I have a dislocated hyoid bone, where it is pulled down and sitting on the thyroid cartilage, from a botched plastic surgery that surgeons are not certain to confirm even though two orthopedic doctors are certain just from palpating the area. Can a swallow test illustrate the action and position of the hyoid bone?
