A member asked:

I had ct scan (oral barium sulfate & iv iodine contrast) yesterday and am very constipated w/ a distended stomach. do i need to talk to my doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Good hydration after oral and IV contrast is recommended, however the oral contrast from a CT is very thin and dilute and should not cause these symptoms. Follow up with your doctor is appropriate (as well as to review the finding of scan).
