The length of the colon depends from person to person. The normal colon is about 5-6 feet long.
Barium enema is an uncomfortable procedure and there is a chance that it might miss the colon polyps also it does not allow the doctor to take a biopsy if polyps are present.
A double contrast barium enema can visualize polyps better.
