A member asked:
Can the barium cause increased abdominal pain after a upper gi series with small bowel follow through?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basics: The barium itself is inert & there are no sensory endings within the gut (like those on fingers) that would sense pain. Bowel pain is triggered by stretch/pain fibers when material of any sort moves & stretches various areas. Bottom line, if anything stretches the gut wall be it air/water or barium it may be felt as pain.
