Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hello everyone,

I have been coming here for a few years and have found so much help and have really been feeling better. A little more than a week ago I had to undergo three cardiology tests that involved the use of Radioactive dye. I have never had tests like this before, but ever since those tests I have been having a horrible time with my IBS.

Has anyone else ever had a reaction to those radioactive dyes??? The only other thing that I was trying to accomplish was to quit smoking. I have tried over the years and have never succeeded. I recently was prescribed the nicotine gum and then nicotine loZenges, neither really worked although I tried to follow the directions very closely. My husband says that he thinks my stomach is upset due to the anti-smoking aids I tried. I still spend much of the day laying down due to upset and painful intestinal problems.

Please someone help, are the problems that I am having now because of radioactive dye or from the stop smoking aids????

Thanks and bless everyone,
