I had an MRI yesterday and had to drink the barium contrast prior to the procedure (plus I had the dye penetrant via IV). After the procedure, the barium had to run its course through my pouch. At 2 am, I woke up with a stinking feeling around my stoma (leakage). Does anyone know if the barium can eat the wafers quickly? It was only day 2 on this wafer, and it was not in good shape. I know there is iodine in the barium. The bottom line is if you have an MRI, you may want to consider changing the wafer after the contents have run through your system. I would be interested to hear from others who have had an MRI if you experienced any problems. Penguins7
