Ct Scan Question!

So I had a CT scan done today and I guess im just being paranoid but im scared that all the crap that I had to drink for it may have had gluten in it. When I first got there they brought out this big cup of liquid for me to drink. It had a fruity smell so I asked what was in it and they brought out the package of what they had mixed in it. The mix had gluten in it. So they said they would make me a new drink but without the mix...it would just be water and the "contrast" stuff that makes your insides light up or whatever. Im still nervous that this "contrast" stuff had gluten...I mean they put gluten in everything these days!

Has anyone had a CT scan recently? Or does anyone happen to know exaclty what is in that contrast drink?

hey there... i had a CT Scan with contrast of the abdomen for a possible hernia a couple of months ago... i had to drink the fruity flavored barium sulfate (GROSS) and i was worried about the same thing. i googled the brand that they gave me and heard that it was gluten free.... however, i did get very sick from the barium.... tummy ache and all of the related symptoms. if it hasn't made you sick yet, you're probably ok. drink lots of water to flush it out of your system

yuck, sorry you had to drink that crap...

Hey Joe, I was looking at your profile and was wondering what meds you were on for crohn's....I met a guy who was amazed with his crohn's med, but I can't remember the name. He said the only side effect was warts.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
