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!

This is likely a reaction to the iodine used in the contrast. I experience the exact same like my blood is boiling and instantly nauseous. Luckily, having mentioned this at a subsequent scan, they simply placed a gauze pad with rubbing alcohol on my upper lip and zero reaction whatsoever. The greatest trick ever and I was definitely on edge because of my first go around with contrast.
