A barium swallow can detect abnormalities in the esophagus, such as strictures, tumors, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It involves the patient ingesting a barium solution, which enhances X-ray imaging of the upper gastrointestinal tract. This test can also evaluate motility disorders and identify swallowing difficulties. Overall, it provides valuable information about the structure and function of the esophagus.

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.
