Diarrhea from contrast dye?!


Question: Diarrhea from contrast dye!?
I had a CT scan two days ago and since then I've had diarrhea and awful gas (I didn't have anything wrong bowel-wise before I went the the doc, except pain in my low right abdomen!.) I called the hospital, they simply told me it was because of the contrast dye that they make you drink!. I was wondering if anybody out there knows how long this lasts, because it's getting a little ridiculous!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Your reaction to the contrast is fairly normal!. It is nasty stuff!. Force fluids to try to flush it out of your body!. I had a ton of contrast when I was in the hospital and had constant diarrhea!. Of course, I can get diarrhea from a glass of water!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
