Ginnie,
Here's a link about manometry that makes it easier than explaining.
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...cle/003884.htm
The Fluoriscopic swallow study sounds like what you had done when you swallowed the barium WHILE the radiologist watched on a screen. usually they give you thick & thin liquid barium as well as barium pills to swallow and crackers with barium. This way they can see your swallowing with different types of substances.
The FEESST link has lots of info with links on the left with more information.

Hope this is helpful.
