Barium sulfate is used as a contrast agent in some medical imaging. It is insoluble in water, so it sort of drifts through the gastrointestinal tract. This irritates the tissues, but doesn't act as an outright poison as barium ions (which are poisonous) are not released into solution.

The barium sulfate may make the patient's stool white for several days, and patients are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids in order to eliminate it from their system.
