MRE

Hi. I am looking for some honest feedback on people’s experience having an MRE. I am concerned about several things, first and foremost, about if the drink made you sick and if so, how sick? I usually get CT scans, which I am fine with, though that drink also gives me diarrhea. Any feedback on your experiences with this test will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  1. Hi . It is completely understandable that you have questions going into a magnetic resonance enterography. I can't personally speak to the procedure, but I want to share with you this article from Jennifer on preparing for her son's MRE: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/child-colonoscopy-prep. Of course, every person's experience is different. Hopefully others will chime in with their experiences. Wishing you the best. Richard (Team Member)
