Thank's for your post! I´m doubtful that the ultrasound will show anything as well. They will perform some type of x-ray on the last part of the colon in a while, not sure on the barium though. They sure didn´t like that I was asking for it :-), that´s why they talked about me after they thought I had gone out of the office...their attitude towards their patients makes me "sick" :-). Since I have dated a surgeon I know their type, all they think about is money.
