Oral or IV contrast?: Oral contrast is sometimes given in MRI (e.g., MRCP) - in which case it shouldn't be considered "breaking fast" because it had a medical purpose. If the contrast was given intravenously, it's best to drink water & stay hydrated to help the kidneys flush it out. You don't need solid food, only liquids. Why was MRI done? Was eating advised based on the MRI diagnosis? Use HealthTap Prime since unsure
