      So I have my cat scan today and I'm trying to suck down this disgusting barium drink and dreading the whole process, when I thought, hey, let's try to laugh about this and come up with new flavor ideas for barium.

      What flavor do you wish barium came in? My vote is for a nice Pinot Noir from Napa Valley. Comment below with your suggestion!

          Sorry to tell you this but someone already thought of flavored barium drink.

          Where I get my scans there is a choice of flavoer, apple spice, very berry, velvety vanilla

                            hmmmm. If it is the thicker white stuff, it would be nice if they could make it like a homemade vanilla milkshake. Last time I had to drink some, it was a thinner liquid, kind of like coolaid and it wasnt too bad. Never heard of all those fancy flavors! It is nice to know there all improvements even in those areas 🙂

                                  I asked about that very thing at Vandy. They told me I could bring a water enhancer like Meo or whatever its called to squirt in it. I have scans in 2 weeks – I will try it and let you know.

                                        If I get it just before the scan in the radiology waiting room, it is pretty bad.  But they will give me some better stuff that I can take home for the next time & drink it on the way in. Choices are vanilla (so-so), banana (not bad), & berry (haven't tried).
