A member asked:
I recently had a barium xray preformed and they found a dark shadow in the middle of my intestines . what could it be?

Wait and see.: Depends on the location. If in the large bowel this could be concerning for a colon cancer. If this was a small bowel spot then it is a little harder to guess what it might be. I suppose you are going to have further imaging or studies soon to confirm the finding.
