dont worry the gastrografen swallow is the same as an upper gi except they
give you gastrogafen to drink instead of the usual barium.

Dear Patricia,
The gastrograffin UGI is nothing to fear.. The gastrograffin is a clear
amber looking , but vile tasting liquid contrast that you will drink.....
The adverse side effect of gastrograffin for me is that it gives me
diarrhea for the next 12 or so hours..I hope your test goes well
Take care
