Preparation for a CT scan

[Maniek1300]

Good morning,
I have a question about preparing for a CT scan of the intestines. I will have the test in 2 days, please help me how to prepare for this test so that there is as little harm to the body as possible.
From our forum I found the following recommendations:
- niacinamide
- progesterone
- Vitamin E
- aspirin
- red light after the test.

What else can I use and when to take these supplements at what time.
Please help as time is short.

Thank you

Good morning to you!

I hope everything goes well for you.
That's a good list you have there.
The only thing that I would add is staying calm and taking L-theanine.

Any way you can switch the test to an ultra sound or an MRI without the contrast dye?

You've had an ultra sound and they found diverticulitis. A CT scan will only cause more inflammation. If you did take the covid "vaccine" I would be very cautious about causing more damage. Reconsider. An MRI has it's own risks but it's not as risky as a CT scan.

Higher serum levels of vitamin D are associated with a reduced risk of diverticulitis - PubMed

Among patients with diverticulosis, higher prediagnostic levels of 25(OH)D are associated significantly with a lower risk of diverticulitis. These data indicate that vitamin D deficiency could be involved in the pathogenesis of diverticulitis.

Protective effects of activated vitamin D receptor on radiation-induced intestinal injury - PubMed

Radiation-induced intestinal injury (RIII) is a common complication after radiation therapy in patients with pelvic, abdominal, or retroperitoneal tumours. Recently, in the model of DSS (Dextran Sulfate Sodium Salt) -induced intestinal inflammatory injury, it has been found in the study that...

Yes they found diverticula but I still have pain after a month of taking xifaxan antibiotics and nothing helped. Therefore, the doctor recommended a CT scan. I told him about the MRI but he said that the CT is more accurate and you have to do it with the MRI so as not to repeat the CT again if something goes wrong.

I'm wondering if if I smeared the stomach 30 minutes before the progesterone test, would it do anything.

I don't really know what else to add. I can't be objective because I am basing my response to you on my own experience. I don't know of anyway you can prevent injury from the CT scan but the list of supplements you mentioned and the red light should help you recover somewhat.
