Abstrakt: Hypersensitivity reactions occurring during barium studies of the gastrointestinal tract are rare. A case is presented with radiographically demonstrated angioedema in the stomach and small bowel accompanied by allergic rhinitis, which was apparently an allergic response to the barium sulfate suspension. The reaction was documented twice during separate challenges to the barium suspension performed several months apart. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
