MRCP without dye

MRCP without dye

My GI MD suggest I take the MRCP with the dye.  I havea 2.2 x 2.3 hypodensity region of the pancreatic neck.  I do not want to have the gadolineum dye since I have read of the severe side effects.  Can the MRCP be effective in diagnosis without the dye?  If not, it is recommended that I have an ERCP - but what kind of dye is used with this?  I am a severe asthmatic who was steroid dependent for 16 years - finally off.  I have numerous allergies including egg and fish/seafood.  Any information you provide woud be helpful.  Thank you.  PT
