MRI Enterography

Tomorrow I have my first MRI -- enterography, which means they'll take pictures of my guts to see whether any partial bowel blockages have built up.  If so, it would explain all the agony I've experienced in the last few weeks, almost every time I eat.  Have been on a low-fiber diet for one week; it seems to be helping (less pain), but is a bummer in the middle of harvest season and the Jewish holidays.

I had previously understood that MRIs are dangerous to people whose bodies contain metal.  My leg is still full of hardware, which has always stopped the docs from wanting to use MRI on me.  When scheduling this enterography they asked whether I had any metal in my body; of course I said Yes.  Titianium? they asked.  No, stainless steel, I answered.  Oh, that's fine.  Titanium would be fine, too.  So which is the "bad" metal?  I don't know.

I'll receive the results of the MRI enterography in a few days.  For now, feeling a bit nervous about my guts!
