Copied and pasted from my post under "My GI Visit" because I feel too lousy to type it up again and since I'm now having stomach issues, I thought a new post would be a good idea...
I just had a CT Enterography done, it was just godawful. Not just because the contrast tastes horrible and sits so heavily in your stomach...I have tiny rolling veins and they couldn't thread them so they couldn't even do the intravenous part of the contrast. He said I should still get some useful information out of it, but I have 4 holes in my arms, a smattering of burst blood vessels, bruises already developing, and nothing to show for it! Anyway, I should get the results in a few days, I'll post in here what they find. My doctor said it could show nothing but I could still have Crohn's and have symptoms, but I hope it wasn't all for nothing.
Addition: Now I'm having diarrhea. Could it be the contrast doing it? My stomach hurt all day yesterday, and my boyfriend's hurts today, so I don't know if we maybe have a bug, but we both had the same (lactose-free) milk before our stomach aches starting, so not sure what the cause is. Just trying to rule things out if possible!
