What is the difference between a body cat scan and a general cat scan?
They are just as they say. An abdominal cat scan is just of that area and a pelvic cat scan is just of that area. Usually if an abdominal cat scan is ordered a pelvis is included so as to cover all things in both areas but if a pelvic cat scan is ordered it usually does not include the abdomen.

Can you eat while drinking Barium Sulfate?
You shouldn't be taking a Barium sulfate suspension unless you're about to have a medical scan. It you're taking this regularly, you need to speak to your doctor. If you are only taking it once (like is normally done before a scan), and you are concerned, you can save up breast milk to use the day after, and then should be able to breast feed again after it has cleared your system without concern. In either case, you should talk to your doctor.
