[Dysphagia] barium sulfate substitutes for MBS

One of our physicians is reluctant to order MBS studies due to prior
experience with an individual having a bad outcome after aspirating barium
sulfate during the MBS.  I am checking with our radiology dept, but also
wanted to pose this question to the listserv.   Does anyone know of any
safer contrast material that can be used?
