Shell88 157 Posted October 2, 2014 So today I am heading over to the hospital for my ultra sound and the UGI series test. I've always had a weak stomach, so I'm really hoping to be able to keep the barium mixture down. And then Monday is the gastric emptying test.... radioactive eggs! Trying to keep the positive, calm vibes - or there will be hospital staff wearing the barium and the eggs lol.... wish me luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shell88 157 Posted October 5, 2014 Gastric emptying is when they make you eat radioactive eggs, and over a 4 hour period, check how quickly the eggs are making their way through your stomach and intestines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shell88 157 Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks everyone! The barium wasn't anything I'd ever want to ingest ever again lol. But it's another 2 tests down. Thanks for the well wishes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
