For Diagnosis and Investigation "I had to get an abdominal CT scan this morning. I was told to take 30 ml Gastrografin mixed with 48 oz. water and a pack of lemonade mix. The taste wasn’t too bad. I had to drink 16 oz. last night and didn’t have any noticeable side effects besides gas. I managed to get through 16 oz. more this morning out of the 32 oz. I was supposed to take. I went to the bathroom and thought I just had to pass gas. It was not gas. I had to take an Imodium to be able to get off the toilet and get my scan done. They still did the scan even though I didn’t finish all of it. I recommend staying close to a toilet and using Imodium for some relief. I have not gone at all since the Imodium, and the gas pains have gone away. I was told I am okay to go back to regular foods, so we’ll see how it goes. Hoping the Imodium lessens the aggressiveness of the diarrhea later on. If you have to take this, good luck."
