Barium is a chemical element that is a silvery-white metal. Barium has been used in many different industries, including the textile industry, to make barium sulfate, which is used in paper and paint. In medicine, barium sulfate can be used for X-ray examination of the digestive tract. This test will show if there are any abnormalities such as ulcers or tumors in the bowel. Barium has also been used for other medical purposes such as for colonoscopies and as an enema to help diagnose inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The most common side effects of barium are constipation, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
A new type of barium called ionotropic gelation barium (IOGB) has been developed recently. IOGB can be used in various ways including to treat chronic bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease by absorbing water vapor from the gut and reducing bacterial infections in the gut.
