Hi,
I stupidly ate the tiniest single bite of a cookie and it was 3 hours before my CT scan with contrast. I’d totally forgot. Size wise it was probably the size of a grape. Will it be ok to still have my scan do you think? Should I tell them?
I even booked a day off work for this!
What should I do?
I imagine it will be fine. I had a couple of fruit gums to take away the taste of the iodine solution when I had mine.
Thanks for the info, I just told my gynae’s secretary who found out for me that it’ll be ok. Phew!
If you think about it, we’re not told not to take any medication that we’re on and the amount I take would probably come to the same size as a bite of a cookie!
Hi EndoCanc
Glad you got hold of the gynae secretary.
I actually ate a sandwich before mine!
Hope your scan goes ok and do keep us updated
Jane
