I to have had a upper GI xray. I had it in 2003 when the doctors maybe thought I had Chrons. Be sure to drink alot of water afterwards.
Good luck :)

i'm almost off to the appt...and i'm starving already! haha. unfortunately they won't tell me the results right there, i'll have to wait and call my dr next week. that's nerve wracking, but i'm not expecting bad results so hopefully i can make it thru the weekend. thanks for the well wishes all!!

ok i'm back already. it took just under 2 hours for the whole procedure, upper GI and small bowel. the chalky stuff was so nasty and there was soooo much of it but i kept it down and it flowed thru right on schedule for them to get all the pics they needed. as soon as i got home, 20 min ago it all came out. plain white diahhrea!! it was so weird! i'm gonna drink a ton of water today, but hopefully most of it's already out of my system. i can call for results in about a week. fingers crossed til then :)

I am so glad that you are done with it - now you can relax and I am sure that results will be good !!!
How is your butty doing ??? I hope great !

Now you don't have to worry about being constipated. I think my son had to drink a similar substance for his "small bowel follow through," which is what I think you had. I forgot that he had that test two times within the last couple of years.

i had a bad stomach ache last night, but i think it's b/c i was starving and over ate for lunch. :) things were fine in the bathroom this morning so i think i'm over the exam hump. yay! i'll post my results when i hear back from the dr...

hey juney,
what was the purpose of the gi xray again - sorry if i missed it in a previous post of yours.
i hope you are much more relaxed today and that you will be able to enjoy a regular day of eating now......
have a good weekend!

i just wanted some tests to rule out any possible reasons why this wound hasn't healed for almost 2 years. i'm most worried about crohns, since i've heard that can be associated with unhealing anal wounds.

Juney,
If you haven't lost weight, have a good iron count, aren't tired, and don't have diarrhea or a stomach ache, I doubt that you have Crohn's. I have to get reading the book by the guy who supposedly healed himself of Crohn's.

Hi Juney,
Glad you made it through the nasty tasting stuff. Hope you have great results.
Hi Jen,
Sorry I'm a little slow on a response, we've been traveling lately and it is hard to get to a computer. Hope you don't need the jolly ranchers any time soon.
I am feeling better, no more spasms. Still have bleeding from the hemmie surgery, don't think that will ever go away, hoping I am wrong but I may just have to live with that, usually not much discomfort . My scar surgery has been over 3 weeks and I am wearing the silicone sheets. Not sure if that is going to work though, I am calling my dr today and probably will schedule the steroid injections soon cause it feels like the keloid is going to be coming back.
Your baby :adorable: sounds darling! Maybe someday you will forget the age of your fissure cause you won't have anymore!!
How are you doing?
Jo
