A member asked:
Had a ct scan with contrast two days ago. today i had diarrhea colored a orangish red. rec. exam found no blood. could the contrast cause this?

Unlikely: If you received only intravenous contrast with your ct, your diarrhea is likely related to something else, such as a virus or something you ate and did not digest well. Intravenous contrast is eliminated through the kidneys under normal conditions, especially in people in your age range.
