But it's definitely best to double check. I would think a barium xray
would do very well though? (Just want to know for future reference, in

I've seen blockages where barium did not pick it up, and the only way to
actually find it was surgery. My recommendation when there is a high index of
suspicion for a blockage is to go to surgery.
