Patients drink what is known as a contrast solution so doctors can view the patients digestive tract. The contrast solution shows abnormalities within a CT scan or MRI that can not normally be seen without contrast.

Patients drink Barium Sulfate, so that doctors can view the patient's digestive tract. Also can have a Barium enema instead of drinking.
I presume you mean for an x-ray to see your digestive tract. Barium can be either taken through the mouth or as an enema.

BaSO4 or Barium Sulfate is taken by the patients so that doctors can view the digestive tract. BaSO4 is very dense and hence will appear as a shadow in the X-ray.
