A member asked:
Does swallowing liquid gi cocktail (lidocane viscus, mylanta, donnatal) coat the esophagus? does it obscure plain x-ray view of the esophagus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may: The mylanta contains elements that are similar to barium and that will obscur some detail. If there are plans for an upper gastrointestinal study with barium then perhaps reversing the order of the tests will help
