<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just called Lafayette Pharm. re: their CT contrast medium, "Chee-Tah" (barium sulfate) The man I spoke with said they couldn't guarantee GF status, since some things are derived from corn or grain, and they can't specify WHICH at any given time. Things I find questionable: sorbitol (he specifically mentioned he couldn't guarantee THIS ingredient), 'suspending agent', 'flavoring', and saccharin sodium. OTHER stuff: 2.2% w/w barium sulfate USP, simethicone, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid, and water. NDC: 59081-523-45 Catalog #: 169715 Does anyone know of a GF contrast medium? I know if I drink this I'll be sick within an hour or two of my first dose... & by the time they go to take the CT, there won't be any barium left in me... SUMMARY RE: TORADOL & VICODIN. Vicodin seemed ok- my PDR from 1992 checked out fine. Others told me it worked for them, too. (3) responses. Toradol, as I also found out contains 10% alcohol.... somone got sick on it & I also did although it is a shot and I don't know if that's GRAIN alcohol..... I still don't know exactly what made me sick-- maybe my french fries- anyway, people were leary of the Toradol, and one even told me 'it's really hard on your liver- my doc. eventually told me, "no more!" for that reason.' only 2 responses on Toradol. Sorry this is so late-- please respond about the barium soon- I'm supposed to have the CT @ 1:00 May 12. That means I have the rest of today and tomorrow until 5 to figure out what else to do I'm going to call my HMO now and see what they say about it.... Mindy in Tacoma
