        toilet clog Sign In/Join 
        posted
        This is kind of an embarrassing question. Yesterday I had to drink barium liquid for an x-ray. My bowel movements were clay like and very heavy, it has somewhat clogged the toilet, the water goes down but I can tell some of it is still in there. How do I unclog something like this. Thank You

        had the same problem
        get a "closet auger"
        it will push the blockage down the line
        and break it up
        any hardware store/plumbing supply will have one

        Frodo, thanks for the reply. I used dish liquid and very hot water, that seems to have worked. Thanks again.
