Hello,
The barium is just like anything else (e.g., food or liquid) that you ingest, and will pass in the normal amount of time that it takes for you to have a bowel movement. Usually, it will have passed completely in 2-3 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
