Barium Sulfate& iodine contrast today....

I feel like a complete guinea pig.  Today, I got a CT done with barium sulfate.  I had to ingest that paste like drink twice.  The taste wasn't too bad BUT the texture was nasty due to how thick it was.

When I arrived, they had me lay down, they inserted an IV & in the IV, they injected IODINE.    It was the craziest feeling!  You immediately feel a warm sensation.  It makes you feel like your peeing your self, you can feel it hit your mouth and extremities.

The technician took some CT images and sent me on my way.
