My yearly CT scans are on Wednesday afternoon. I take prednisone and Benadryl to prevent anaphylaxis from the injected contrast. I take prednisone at 8am and 8pm tomorrow. On Wednesday, I take prednisone at 8am and take Benadryl an hour before my scans. I drink 2 cups of gastrografin mixed with juice tomorrow night then I drink one cup of the mixture an hour before my CT scans and the remaining mixture 30 minutes before my scans. I am a little concerned because I have had episodes of rectal bleeding with horrible abdominal pain at the end of July, in October and in November. I have doubled my dose of dicetel(pinaverium bromide) and will start 81mg of coated aspirin a day on the 21st for ischemia. It will take 7 to 10 days for the results of my scans to be back. I am due for a colonoscopy in 2019. I wish I could have got one sooner but my GI wanted to try the higher dose of dicetel and aspirin.
