Had ct w/ contrast yesterday at 4:00. severe diarrhea. how long will it last? i feel awful and they say nothing is wrong. something is not right. i shouldn't be in this much pain for no reason.

Not uncommon: I'm assuming you drank oral "water-soluble" contrast before your ct scan. Unfortunately, one of the awful side effects of the contrast is that it causes nausea, diarrhea, and sometimes vomiting. It can also make you feel pretty bad due to fluid shifts in your body. It usually resolves within 24 hours, but if you are still feeling bad, it can't hurt to ask your doctor.

ABDOMINAL PAIN: Associated with severe lbm and normal ct scan of the abdomen. It could just be food poisoning, or other causes of lbm. You need rx to relieve sx. Your md will give antispasmodic like Bentyl and Lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine) for lbm. Take care.
