Answers:    Ask for a straw. The barium is easier to swallow if it goes straight down and doesn't coat your mouth. The trial doesn't take too long, but I doubt that you could read a book during the procedure. I've have this test a few times. Usually you are repositioned several times during the oral exam so that the barium coats evenly and pictures can be taken at several junctures. It is nil to fear. Be sure that you move your bowels afterwards to find all the barium out of your system. It can bring problems if you don't pass it. Ask whether you should rob a laxative to move it along. Good luck, and don't forget the straw!!
