A member asked:
Is drinking water ok before a stomach barium swallow test ? how long before is not ok ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually at least 4 h: Some water is all right. Normally should not eat food at least four hours prior to study so that artifactual densities do not appear in structures containing the barium.
