Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

The images of the barium meal follow through attached to the query are viewed are showing no small bowel dilatation in the right upper abdomen.

You have an increased flow time of the oral contrast through the small bowel. This can be due to intestinal hypermotility or if you were fasting before the procedure.
