Question:
I had an Upper GI done to check for an ulcer......

I DON"T have an ulcer, but as I was drinking my liquid "chalk" the radiologist doctor remarked about how fast it was flowing through me. I could see on the TV screen that as soon as it got into my pouch, it flowed right out into my intestine. Is this what is happening when I eat too? I am able to eat quite a bit, and although I'm at goal weight, I'd like to lose about 10 more but have found it difficult. Any one else experience this and what can I do if my outlet is too big? Thanks!    — michelle T. (posted on November 8, 2003)

The liquid stuff does flow straight thru. I would say you have nothing to worry about. BTW, I have an ulcer that went unnoticed on an upper GI but showed up on my endoscopy.

I had an ulcer that didn't show up on an upper GI too. And the barium went right out of my pouch too. I think thats normal.
