A member asked:
Does barium sulfate for suspension cause constipation, nausea, gas, and. cramping? i had to drink two 450 ml bottles for an abdominal/pelvic ct scan.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Barium sulfate is essentially inert. The most common complication is constipation. Drinking plenty of water usually overcomes this problem.
