No, I don’t think so. Have you been drinking fluids. Best to drink water, fluids, and barium will be better excreted in urine.

It sometimes can take several days to eliminate the contrast from the body after a CT scan. I would not worry if I were not seeing it yet. Contact your physician for the results and if you notice any new symptoms.
