I had a CT scan for my stomach. I had that done first when we had no idea what was wrong. I was throwing up everything I ate....and there was no way I could drink that barium. I drank one glass, and they didn't make me drink it anymore after some crying and complaining.
The machine is pretty amazing. And at one point they put this stuff in my IV that made me all warm from head to toe, it seriously felt like I was peeing for a second!! But of course they warn you about that
The first doctor was telling me he thought my bowel collapsed and I would need immediate surgery! Then they brought in 3 more doctors to look at the x-rays and 2 of them said not to do surgery right away because it was too difficult to judge that from the x-rays... that's when I had the scopes done. SO - luckily I didn't have the surgery. Although I almost wish that my bowel had collapsed and this would all be over.
