For Computed Tomography "I had the oral and IV contrast and was told I could go to work after the CT scan. I asked about side effects but was told about the major ones, not the vomiting and diarrhea. I went to work and got very sick. It was so embarrassing. I had to rush home and almost kicked my house door down getting to the bathroom. The nausea, diarrhea, weakness, tingling in my body was so scary. I was in the bathroom every 5 minutes. That was on Tuesday, now here it is Thursday, and I am still nauseous and can taste the medication in my mouth. My stomach still bubbles up when I eat anything. This is a weight loss plan I didn't sign up for. This experience made me feel worse than what I originally went in for. Never again will I do something like that without doing my research first."

For Computed Tomography "I made it through the first bottle pretty good. The taste wasn't bad at all (had the berry flavor), but the consistency is just gross. About 10 minutes later, I had a huge hit of diarrhea. After half of the second bottle, I must have looked white like a ghost as everybody asked me if I was okay, and I felt super sick to my stomach. It was hard to keep it down. After the scan, I threw up about 8 times and had diarrhea ALL day long. Couldn't drive myself home, my husband had to pick me up. I felt so weak. Also having a lot of gas and a huge headache. I am sure it's needed, but I hope I never have to do this again."

For Computed Tomography "About 15 minutes after drinking the second bottle, the diarrhea started. It was pretty severe and made it difficult to get through the CT scan. It was followed by nausea and some weakness. It started early in the morning and is lasting well into the night."
