What is the difference between a barium meal and a barium swallow?
Both a barium swallow and a barium meal test involve you swallowing a liquid suspension of barium sulphate before a series of X-rays are taken of your upper digestive tract. In a barium swallow test, X-ray images are taken of your pharynx (throat) and your oesophagus (the passageway that connects your throat to your stomach; sometimes called your gullet). In a barium meal test, X-ray images are taken of your stomach and the beginning of your duodenum (the beginning of your small intestine, the passageway that takes food away from your stomach). A barium meal test is often performed straight after a barium swallow test. Barium is a naturally occurring element that appears white on X-ray. In these tests, the barium is given as a cup of flavoured drink - like a milkshake. When swallowed, barium coats the walls of the digestive tract, which allows the shape of your upper digestive tract to be outlined on an X-ray. Without the barium your upper digestive tract would be barely visible on X-ray.

You do not have to swallow an endoscope during a Modified Barium Swallow study, search or test. You consume a small amount of barium-laced liquid, pudding and a cookie. As you drink or chew and swallow them in front of a fluoroscope, a video is made for later study. The barium makes it possible to see your "swallow" in action. Some labs do provide an alternative test that includes placing an endoscope down the nose, but it has a different name.
