A member asked:
What does it mean when my x-ray image of the intestines showed up white without barium swallow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's hard to: speculate, based on very limited information. If what you are seeing is as 'white' as barium would be, you may have ingested something with radiopaque content, like Pepto-Bismol or Maalox.
