I AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS SUBJECT. I HAVE SUFFERED WITH ADHESIONS FOR
YEARS AND FINALLY A FEW WEEKS AGO MY DOCTOR SENT ME FOR ANOTHER C.T.
SCAN-THIS TIME USING THE BARIUM DRINK CONTRAST INSTEAD OF THE IODINE
CONTRAST-AND IT PICKED UP CROHNS DISEASE.
THEY ALWAYS USED THE IODINE CONTRAST BEFORE BECAUSE THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
BLOCKAGES OF THE KIDNEYS AND URETER-THAT WAS WHERE THE ADHESIONS USUALLY
CAUSED ME TROUBLE. WHEN I TOLD HER I WAS HAVING BOUTS OF DIARRHEA AND
CONSTIPATION-ALSO ANOTHER SIGN OF ADHESIONS-SHE DECIDED ON THE BARIUM
CONTRAST. I DIDN'T KNOW IT MADE A DIFFERENCE WHICH THEY USED BUT I QUESS I
KNOW BETTER NOW. SO, KEEP LOOKING FOR THAT DOCTOR WHO WILL HELP YOU IN YOUR
SEARCH FOR PAIN RELIEF AND OTHER OPTIONS.
