Subject: Question about GI series
> This morning I had an upper GI series and follow through (the one where
> you drink the stuff & have a series of x-rays). They told me it would
> take anywhere from half an hour to 1.5 hours, but it actually took
> almost 3 hours. I read somewhere that you should take extra Metamucil
> etc for a few days after the test, which I will do when I get home
> tonight.

> When they did the last series of xrays, they pushed the machine actually
> down on my abdomen. The left side was fine, but the right side hurt
> (enough to take my breath away). Then it got better for a couple of
> hours, but now it's getting worse and worse. Is this normal? It the
> same as the adhesion pain, but worse. It's not extreme, but I wonder if
> anyone has had this?
