Back in june i had a Barium Swallow and the radiologist said that the lower half

of my stomach tube (after having ectomy) was narrow and that it was only about

5mm in width during the swallow when i swallowed the bread soaked in barium. Now

when i saw consultant's team for the results the registrar told me that my

barium was normal and that any food that i swallow would eventually go down when

it goes stuck in my chest. Is this normal? Do i need to mention that my eating

difficulties are getting worse and question the barium results?? I am down to

eating one small meal around lunchtime and perhaps a biscuit or two around

teatime. That's all i can swallow foodwise. Am seeing the consultant again on

Monday because i have a growth growing just under the skin next to my

jejunostomy stoma and my General Practitioner says that it needs to be excised.
