Hi all,
I just booked in my next CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis. The last two times I had to go in at least an hour earlier to drink a large jug of lemon tasting water, didn't taste too bad actually but gave me diarrhea - ugh! This time when I called and made the appointment I was told to commence drinking 1.5 litres of water an hour before my appointment time, and can go to the bathroom as much as I need to. Apparently, I just need to be well hydrated, she said that they've changed the preparation. She did ask me if I'd had abdominal surgery within the last month because if so I'd then need the other prep. I was wondering if they had a new machine or if they have just changed the prep. I could call to find out but I'm just happy to drink the water and to not have to go in early. Best wishes to you all.
