A member asked:

If some gadolinium agents are excreted in bile and i was constipated (i have constipation issues) does that mean my body didn't get rid of it?

Nothing to worry: That has never been a problem as far as i know. But better check with your doc to know for sure. By the way, i believe that gallium scanning is useless, as a rule. Although there are exceptions. I wonder why you had the gallium in the first place.

See answer: Bile is excreted into the duodenum (the beginning of the small bowel) – constipation - predominantly a large bowel manifestation - should not affect your bile duct transport.
