You need have clear liquids for 6 hours prior to the CT, and then about an hour before they give you this contrast stuff to drink...about three 12 oz. glasses full. It's not near as bad as a colonoscopy prep, and doesn't taste as bad as the barium. I had terrible diarrhea afterward, but I was having terrible D beforehand, and the CT prep stuff just made it worse! Later I found out that I had Salmonella, so all the D may not have been related to the prep. Good Luck as Cleveland Clinic, and fill us in on how it went.
