I had the small bowel follow through and upper GI last Dec, they were
checking for possible kinks in the bowel, or crohns, I was there for 4
hours, but the test results were negative, they told me that the barium
took some tim to get through, and the pictures were taken every 15
minutes, and then a floroscope or something, a big light was exraying
me. They never told me anything about how long it takes to get to the
small bowel.
