I only got 2 replies about Gastroview so I guess not many  people take it.
#1. I did drink the Gastroview made by the Mallinckrodt  company a couple
months ago for an abdominal CT.  But, it was a white  liquid that was not too
thick.  They told me it was easier to drink it  cold, so refrigerate it. (I had
to drink 1/2 of this bottle the night before the  CT, then the other half in
the morning--then they have you drink 2 full cups of  something different when
you get to the hospital--depending on the time of day  of the CT). I didn't
have any problems with it at all, except for having lighter  colored b.m.'s for a
couple days.
recall.  I found the company  easily by searching on the web.  Then,you can
find the distributor for your  area.

The hospital where I take my ct scans gives it to you an hour  before the
scan. I don't know if this is the same stuff not Gastrograffin  because when I
called, they told me the "stuff" was red and  bubbly.

#2. Yup, it's GF, and yup, it's evil stuff.   Tastes disgusting and makes
even the healthiest people crampy, gassy, and  "loose". Then they make ya drink
MORE at the XRay department!
