Thank you, @bens1. I’ll tell my husband. Aside from iodine and gadolinium, is there anything else? I know you suggested for him to call his doctor, but he’s afraid of what he‘ll say and is pretty firm on having it done without the contrast., if we can find a place that will do it. He’s having discomfort along the right side of his body from the waist down to his leg. He thinks maybe it’s sciatica, but I wonder if it has something to do with the elevated PSA, or perhaps long-term use of PPIs. Have you heard of this happening? Thanks again, it really helps to share these concerns of ours.

I'm also searching for alternative contrasts so I'm checking out Maganese. GEHealthcare.com has it but they won't speak to patients.
BTW, I had Sciatica for 7 years and could hardly walk... a Naturopathic ND Doctor put me on Magnesium Glycinate 400 mg twice a day and I soaked in Magnesium Bath Crystals 3 times a day and in 1 1/2 months it went away and hasn't come back. I'm riding horses again. 🙂
