The Chief of Nuclear Medicine and PET/CT of my CCC, Georgetown Hospital was kind enough to reply to my email query:
[quote]Our instructions are to avoid carbohydrates from the night before the study. Your dinner the night before the scan should be of low carb content, and even more importantly no carbs for six hours before scheduled time. Jevity with its high carbs content would interfere with the PET scan. Therefore, please avoid Jevity the day of the scan and also for the dinner of the day before the scan. I think your plan to use Vitamix to combine low carb food is excellent.

In looking over my records, I realized I did have one Petscan right after I got the feeding tube and before I bought the Vitamix. That explains why that Petscan was inconclusive and false also that time. This one has to be right so they can decided if I can have one more radiation round.
