My gastroenterologist says the x-ray says my gut is officially A-ok. Getting up at 6 am and drinking the contrast sucked, but they were doing some live x-rays and it was really neat to watch the TV screen with my intestines traced out on it. They had me rolling from side to side, and the doc was poking a bit, to make them move around so he could see all 25 feet of them. I didn't realize how much your guts move around when you push on your stomach.
Something that might be TMI: The barium contrast they made me drink has no nutritional value whatsoever. It's white. Taking a crap has been pretty weird-looking lately.
So yeah, I'm healthy (at least in my gut). Hooray!
