Why would a person get sick after being injected with MRI contrast in their IV?

577 views

One time in the hospital suffering from gi problems I had to drink a certain amount of liquid contrast for an MRI on my stomach , then when I was brought down to the room with the machine the nurse administered the IV dye or contrast and not even two minutes later I had to yell help because I got really sick . Am I allergic to the dye used for MRIs or was it a random occurrance? I felt instantly hot and sick . I have no known allergies could this potentially be one? Thanks in advance guys!

It also depends on the brand of contrast used. When we used multihance mri contrast, EVERYONE puked. Violently. Our hospital has switched brands numerous times, all seem to have different reactions. We use Dotarem now, which has very few reactions.
