Prior to the test u drink two barium drinks flavored with a slight pineapple flavor. The patient eats a scrambled egg sandwich and drink about 6- 8 ounces of orange juice mixed with dye. The radiologist takes pictures of ur stomach and food every every 15 mins. for about 2 hours. I was there for approx. 4 hours. I had this done because I have a impaction problem high up in my digestive area. Most every other test was done. I have to drink 3-4 cans of ensure a day 2-3 litres of gatorade, hot water, carnation instant breakfast drink, and eat a very low fiber diet. My diet consists of gatorade, ensure, sometimes pureed chicken , chicken broth, nectar juice, Jell-O, salt, sometimes tomato soup. I have atypical parkinsons. nancy m.
