effects of mri cotnrast on appetite/ muscle mass/strength

[testdeprived]

so i have had abdominal/pituitary mris in the past all with mri contrast gallodinum...and i am due for a followup mri today. Due to my health problems ive always had poor appetite and a hard time increasing my strength/muscle mass even though i workout regularly. Well these past few months ive had my appetite back , and my muscle mass has returned. I am due for another rmri however and concerned that the mri contrast being a harmful chemical, will somehow be destructive to my body, and maybe be destructive to my muscles/my appetite?

yeah ive had the test before, but i was doing very poorly with weightlifting and i was having a poor appetite at that time. I am for the first time  in a while that  ive had these health problems/issues, doing well in those areas.

Yes it is a chemical and chemicals are not good for you but the amount you are getting with just a few MRI's is not bad at all.  The amount you have received would not be destructive to your muscles/appetite/body.  With every test you have to weigh the pros and cons and decide if getting a MRI will help you more than these chemicals will hurt you (I would say the pros easily outweigh the cons).
