A member asked:
What ingredients are in a barium swallow. wondering if it is gluten free?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...: The barium part of the barium swallow is gluten free. If you are having a speech therapist present to do a video swallow, they sometimes give products for you to eat that are coated in barium that may contain gluten. Check with your doc or call the radiology department where the test will be performed.
