I noticed while searching the archives that people had had problems finding a
gf product to take for tests involving a barium swallow, so I wanted to share
the following info:
The barium sulfate to be used in my test is made by Lafayette
Pharmaceuticals...I just spoke with them and was told that their barium
sulfate does contain a small amt. of malitol,  which may contain a trace
amount of gluten...but is well below the amt allowed to be declared gf.  This
product does contain gluten from corn, if any of you have that problem.
I also checked on the effervescent granules (Sparkles) that they will be
using also for my test.  They are made by the same company and are definitely
gf.
