Hey Sarah,

My tummy ached a bit, but I didn't feel ill.  Mostly all of my troubles were 'lower intestinal' I hurt and felt off for a good three weeks. 

The barium 'passed' through my system VERY quickly, within a day, but I really did hurt.

Drink lots of water and eat lots of fibre is what they told me. 

The flu is going around right now, so I hope that you feel better soon.

I felt like I had a brick in my stomach for a few days but not flu-like.

I definately struggled with eating for a day or so, but was super thirsty.
