Gastrograffin - painful with new j pouch???!

I have heard gastrograffin studies are very painful. Have any of you had them completed using your new j pouch? I have one this Friday on my 9 week j pouch & I am nervous...

From what I remember 16 years ago,it was not at all painful.The tech. inserted a catheter very similar to an enema nozzle,and then had me lay on the x ray table. The contrast then flowed in by gravity. The only issue I remember was trying to roll from side to side with that tube in my behind.
Pressure can't really build up, since the excess will flow into the ostomy bag.
