Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic gastroparesis intestinal obstruction
diabetes
Without more details, possible causes that come to my mind for such intestinal pain could be Celiac disease, Crohn's disease, diabetic gastroparesis, gallbladder disease, or severe constipation. There are other possibilities, of course, but abdominal pain can take time and effort to sort out. Good luck!
re faced with this intestinal disease. Enteropathy is a generic term and so it might be that you have a form of gastroparesis (a form of diabetic neurpathy).
To the extent that you can improve your diabetes management, strive to do so. Some neuropathy symptoms can be significantly eased when BGs are close to non-diabetic levels.
Mitch, if you feel your diagnosis is in error, then you should contact your doc and have and EGD done to confirm or disprove your suspicions.
Something like a polyp typically doesn't cause an obstruction.
I know you mentioned in another post that you didn't have diabetes and oculdn't understand why you may have gastroparesis. However, gastroparesis isn't only due to diabetes. Many people are diagnosed with idiopathic gastroparesis and no true cause is ever found.
The stomach problems are likely due to nerve damage from the diabetes. This is called diabetic gastroparesis. There are some medications that may help.
In addition it would be critical to get his blood sugar well controlled.
The doctor in question is a Gastroenterologist and I started seeing him due to stomach problems. I have been told that I have Gastritis, Peptic Ulcer, Gastroparesis (I am also diabetic).....but never a true diagnosis as of yet. These problems have been occurring off and on for the past 4 years. I have had 2 endoscopies, a colonoscopy, MRI's, CAT scans and they have not found anything.
You sound a lot like me. LOL. I've been struggling with the bloating for a long time now and it got so bad that I went to a GI doctor and had a bunch of tests done. With bloating the #1 thing you wanna make sure and rule out is an intestinal obstruction. Have your doctor schedule you a small bowel x-ray with barium to rule or confirm this.
Dear Spidersilk,
Sir, in addition to the other poster's suggestions, your grandson could have a variety of some rather serious gastro problems, the list is as long as my arm, which constant abdominal pain in the young is ALWAYS to be taken seriously, as you have, but the mother has not.
I’ll suggest an examination by a surgeon and may be some tests like an x-ray abdomen/CT scan etc to rule out the presence of a partial obstruction in the gastro-intestinal tract. Meanwhile, you can also try some enema to evacuate the bowels once. Maybe that sets everything right. You need to continue with the measures you’re following.
I sincerely believe that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.

It's called diabetic diarrhea and it is caused by neuropathy. Gastroparesis is another symptom of diabetic neuropathy.
Is it safe to take doxycycline hyclate for bronchitis since I have both intestinal cystitis and gastroparesis?
i've had intestinal/gastro issues ever since my first encounter with MS/neuro symptoms. these symptoms can really affect my moods, social, etc.
i've had work ups and it comes back IBS & serious gastritis.
cleveland center recently educated me on the links between MS & IBD. i have a sister with crohns. i dont think and i'm not insinuating i have crohns but there is a family member with it.
I'm Type 2 Diabetic and have other issues with my health, i have Gastroparesis, Barretts disease, IBS, Acid Reflux ( Gerd ) Stomach Hernia, and have had 9 Polyps taken from my Bowels ( non cancerous ). I know it's the diabetes thats killing the nerve endings in my stomach which has give me the gastroparesis but how do i control my sugars? i do my best but find it real hard.
I have been diagnosed with diverticulitis and gastroparesis. I have had about 7-8 diverticulitis attacks beginning in 2006. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis in Dec of 2013. I have been miserable with pain and nausea with these last two attacks which were a month apart. My doc prescribed Domperidone for the gastroparesis. I filled the prescription but before I could start taking it, I had another diverticulitis attack. I am currently taking flagyl and levaquin for the diverticulitis.
Abdominal adhesions can kink, twist, or pull the intestines out of place, causing an intestinal obstruction. An intestinal obstruction partially or completely restricts the movement of food or stool through the intestines. A complete intestinal obstruction is life threatening and requires immediate medical attention and often surgery.
If the condition is caused by a vascular abnormality, it would likely be constriction of blood vessels and reduced blood flow to the digestive system.
Two years ago I had surgery for a double bowel obstruction. Before my bowel became totally occluded I had symptoms similiar to what you are experiencing. Like Selma suggests, my obstruction was from scar tissue. I had not had surgery like you have had, but I was a fighter in my demented youth and took some hard hits that probably caused scar tissue. That being said, a CAT scan should have picked up a bowel obstruction.
I don't know how long I have had diabetes II, I started on pills maybe in 1996. There was no name like Gert or Gastroparesis. A Doctor shoved a pipe down my throat
and looked at my ? What he said sounded like something like a "cut" in my esophagus that let acid come
up into my esophagus. I learned over 2 years, anytime I ate Roast Beef or tomatoe Juice, that place would
close up and keep water from going into my stomach, after a few minutes, it would open
back up.

This site has a forum. The president of the US based non-profit is a type I diabetic with gastroparesis. She has a lot of insight and suggestions regarding gastroparesis and its affect on diabetes.
I am 29 year old male. I have a problem of frequent bloating. I spend lot of time to clear my bowel. I don't feel constipated but I feel as if gas is causing obstruction. When gas is out the motion is good and in sometime it stops and I need to wait for another pocket of gas to be out. This way I need to spend a lot of time to clear my bowel. In some days when am unable to clear my bowel completely i feel bloated and uncomfortable with flatulence.
