Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently had the barium test which showed my severe spasms. Muscle opening to stomach is limited and food backs up with considerable pain and frequent upchucking. I had h. hernia repair about 14 years ago and have been taking pump inhibitors and antacids for a long time. I am allergic to iodine, so barium test was last resort. Is there any procedure that could be helpful?
Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I don't think there is another examination to substitute barium test. Take spasmex or buscopan to relieve spasms. Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
