A member asked:
Will eating fatty foods before a hidascan cause a false positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't help: Mainly it will mess up the test. The dye has to accumulate in the gall bladder and the meal will cause it to go out. Then the gall bladder won't be well seen. Furthermore the part of the test in which the dye is released won't work right.
