Hello . after this test your supposed to drink lots of water to flush out your system . if you don't the paste clogged up your system. Hence the constipation. Drink lots of water call your doctor and ask if you can take something to relieve the constipation..
But the water should help. Good luck and God bless you on your heath journey.

Yes.
Drinking 8 ounces of water several times per day will lubricate the barium.
You might also consider prunes, raisins, any food that always makes you pass stool. Just do not over indulge.
Or consider a stool softner...ask your pharmacist to recommend one
If things become too painful, call your gastrointestinal physician.
kind regards
