[q="Dr.K"]Just as well too If you ingested Barium, or a soluble compound of Barium, you'd die pretty quickly. It's the insolubility of some Barium compounds that allows all that funky X-ray shizzle to take place. I'd still be paranoid about drinking it though [/q]

I know that, geeze, but that's what the technicians refer to it is, so that's what I called it. Actually, it's barium sulfate with sodium sulfate inorder to keep as few barium ions from being absorbed as possible, but that's beside the point. Today I got to see it come out the other end which also wasn't pleasant. I'm getting all these test done to see (rule out hopefully) ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease...I get a colonoscopy tomorrow too (what fun, I know)
