Hi Guys.

I dont know if you have read my previous posts concerning my Horrible experience with my last Ct Enterography in February.
Due to severe diarrhea caused by the stuff and wrong directions from the nurse I was not allowed to under go the test.

Now the day has come for my next appt, Tomorrow.. I am so not looking forward to it. Today I can only drink liquids than tomorrow its the test. I so hope the same thing does not happen but for some odd reason I have my doubts.

And today alone, I've started going to the bathroom so that hasnt helped only thing I won't have much in me for tomorrow. LOL

Anyway wish me the best. :eek: It was embarassing last time.
 
Wow, you're brave. If you can go back after the last idiotic mess (I recall your story) then nothing can stop you!
Good luck, and it's gotta be better this time. :)
 
Thank you.

However I'm not sure if I am brave or just stupid.

My family doctor and specialist both really want me to go, so I said I would give it another shot, but honestly I'm rather scared.

I don't know what to expect this time. I was almost considering backing out.

I think the anxiety of doing the test is bothering me right now as well.

Whoof this is going to be along day.
 
Does anyone know if taking a lomotil the night before could help with the test. I'm rather scared the same thing will happen
 
Lots of members have reported the contrast has a prep like effect i'm afraid :( Some don't get anything happen afterwards but from the numbers i've seen more have problems with it.

However, taking the contrast correctly this time shouldn't result in such a speedy and violent reaction!
 
I wish you good luck! At the least you know it can happen and you can be prepared for all situation if it reacts the same. Thankfully it will be better aswell!
 
Hi everyone

I took the stuff the right way this time and it happened again talk about embarrassing. I had to take the ct scan wearing a diaper. Ah well it is done and over with. I am now going to put it behind me and move on and also telling the doctor when I see him next that I am not going for that test again ever. At least they took the scan this time.
The diarrhea wasn't as violent but still ran back and forth for almost 2 to 3 hours slowly calming down now.

Anyway. Let's hope someone else's reviews are better than mine.

Wish I knew when the running to the bathroom would stop. Grrrr
