@nycmusic They used contrast in my CT scans both times and I guess it can cause complications with some people but I didn't have any issues with it. They told me that If you have to have another scan that they wait 24 hours in between scans with contrast so it clears out if your system before you can have another scan with contrast.

@mechanic66 thanks…recently had scan with 2 contrasts…..never had problem before, but this time a delayed reaction of the runs, even though I had hydrated well…doc put me on BRAT diet and I’m recovered…next time around, I will prepare more —extra hydrating and light diet the day before and the day after. Maybe this will help others…..ps I do take a zofran an hour or so before so I won’t interfere with the scan !
