FINALLY, after waiting 15.5 months, I got in for a CT Enterography!
I think I got pretty lucky, because it wasn't that bad at all.
In the health region I had it done it, I had to drink 4 large glasses, in 40 minutes, of water mixed with Sorbitol. It tasted like acidy, weakly sugared water. not so yummy. I only had one attack of diarrhea (Sorbitol is a laxative) so that I can live with. I had to pee A LOT; the guy who did my CT scan said this is normal.
I was explained to that the reason for the Sorbitol at a large amount in a fast amount of time is that the intestines absorbs the Sorbitol very well. This will help them to show up anything. As soon as I finished last glass they took me in for the test.
Also, I was given a larger amount of dye via IV at a faster rate.
Now just to await results and hope to god something showed up...
