Thanks juney, I definitely plan to drink copious amounts of water to make sure things are as uneventful as possible :) I appreciate the good luck wishes with all else, too. Have a nice Thanksgiving holiday in case I don't see you all before then!

Just thought I'd post a quick update for the archives: apparently passing barium sulfate with an active fissure is no big deal, at least not when taking Miralax. I didn't notice any difference pooping-wise at all. So for anyone who needs to do this in the future, full steam ahead with the barium sulfate, fissure or not! It wasn't the greatest tasting thing I've ever had, but at least it doesn't feel like a mack track (as I'd feared it might) when making its exit! Miralax 1, barium sulfate 0.

I think my experience was similar to yours, NG, after drinking the same substance for a CT scan. Image However, I was on the const drug at that time which was later taken off the market due to serious side effects! :roll:
I remember I drank the banana flavor which did not taste bad at all!
