A member asked:

Can a hida scan give you an upset stomach for days after?

No: The side effects from the injection for contracting the gallbladder should be gone in a few hours. If you had hida without an agent to contract the gallbladder there should be no side effects.

Unlikely.: It would be unlikely for that to happen.

No: If the study was just a hida, it only imaged what your body was doing. The amount of radiopharmaceutical used is extremely small and has no biologic effect. If it was augmented with cck to evaluate for gallbladder dysfunction, that medicine wears off in a about 30 minutes, which is why it is given as a slow IV infusion, to mimic nature.
