Latest topics Search | Passing barium sulfate with an active anal fissure? November 18th 2009, 4:19 pm by NeuropathicGuy Hey all, So I'm getting an abdominal and pelvic CT scan with contrast on Friday. The contrast material is a big bottle of barium sulfate.

I went in, they put the IV in and administered Versed and Fentanyl, both of which I've had for other conscious sedation procedures before, so I was feeling pretty comfortable at that point.

October 12th 2009, 11:49 am by NeuropathicGuy Hi all, So I thought my fissure was calming down for a while, but lately it's been acting up again -- some pain and bright red bleeding during BMs (relatively minor but consistent and noticeable) has returned.
