Sigh. I knew it was too good to be true. I had my cookie swallow test yesterday. Oh there were two bites of cookie, but the test should really be called the "swallow some plastic flavored barium, slowly for about 15 minutes test". sigh. Oddly enough the cookie was a pecan sandie. Really hospital? Don't you think maybe you should use a cookie without nuts? There were several sips of plain barium, by spoon, cup, and straw. Then applesauce flavored barium, or as I like to call it chunky barium torture, and then two bites of cookie soaked in barium, then some barium to wash it down. Mmm barium. Anyway I'm fine. It seems it's post nasal drip, and swollen sinuses. Allergy meds, eat slowly, and sitting up straight while eating.

I can't even think of a smart ass comment for that. That's just wrong.

Never thought a cookie could sound sooo nasty, except the nuts. Sounds like an all around horrible experience! Hope you feel better.

Thanks everyone! Now I just have to find an allergy medicine that actually works. I'm pretty sure the applesauce part of the test was just there to test my gag reflex. It was a bit like a baby apple pooped in my mouth. *shudder*

Good that you know, and it's something that is easy to treat. Hopefully you'll fine the right allergy medication quickly.

Well at least you now know the problem, an ease to your mind and a plan. Actually I would have asked for a different kind of cookie, I do not like pecans. LOL!! Barium is nasty, sort of like liquid chaulk.

Drop a one-word note in their suggestion box. No! Not that word...I meant SNICKERDOODLES :)

I've been there before. I feel for you. Thankfully that has been a few years, but getting the prep kit for the scopes is horrible too and they last longer. I hope you are feeling better now.
