Suggest Alternative To Barium Enema Procedure For Descending Colon
Yes, I recently had a colonoscopy, my dr. Said I had a narrowing to small to get the scope through. 1 polyp was removed. Now he wants me to have a barium enema done to evaluate the left descending colon. I have heard horror stories about this procedure. My mother in law had this done and it set up like cement . This was several years ago 2006. Have they made progress doing this procedure? Is there an alternative to this.

* Thin barium enema has no issues of clogging as per the past thick barium . * Still can discuss the scope of MRI in stead of that which will demarcate intraluminal details .
Hope this will help to clear your doubt . Wishing you fine recovery .
