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!

Likely a reaction to the contrast. It may not even be an allergy, and it may or may not occur the next time.

Transient and mild reactions like this are common. I say mild, because an actual BAD reaction could go all he way to anaphylaxis.
