Avatar f tn Because of the complexity of the disorder it's hard to give you advice based on this info. Are you diabetic, or do you have any other condition which may be responsible? What was your emptying time? That will go a very long way in determining treatment. To answer your q's: 1) Will you continue to lose weight? Possibly, depending on your current weight, what you're eating, what you're able to eat, etc.
Avatar f tn Symptoms of gastroparesis may include chronic or intermittent nausea, vomiting, early satiety, abdominal distention after eating, and abdominal pain, which also often follows meals. Acute flares can result in severe vomiting. Morning nausea is an important indicator of gastroparesis. Vomiting may not be a dominant complaint, as the patient may have adjusted his/her diet to include only small amounts of food at a time.
Avatar m tn Has anyone experienced anything that cycles between gastroparesis symptoms and trouble swallowing? i.e., for a few weeks, I'll get full quickly, feel bloated, some nausea, lasts for a long time - can throw up nearly whole meals after 8 hours.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis about 2 years ago. I have been off and on Reglan/Metoclopramide, but from what I've been reading, it doesn't sound like it's very good. Has anyone else here been diagnosed with gastroparesis, and if so, what kind of treatment are you on? Thanks!
Avatar f tn ve tried taking motion sickness tablets, IBS tablets, indigestion tablets and antacids, and have been prescribed various tablets by my GP over the years including Prochlorperazine and Cyclizine Hydrochloride but nothing has worked. I am currently taking Metoclopramide as I have suspected it may be gastroparesis.
Avatar f tn Ive been prescribed metoclopramide hydrochloride to take for my nausea. Im 17 years old on 9 weeks 3 days pregnant. Obviously my first and wanting to know if anyone had any problems taking this medication?? My mum and I are abit iffy as my cousin was born with a hole in her heart from my aunty taking a nausea medication (many many years ago though). What are your thoughts on medication? I am sick 24/7 and throw up almost everything I eat.

Avatar f tn It's called diabetic diarrhea and it is caused by neuropathy. Gastroparesis is another symptom of diabetic neuropathy.
484160 tn?1343397921 Then they took out her gallbladder on the 10th of this month. Now they are calling it diabetic stomach (gastroparesis). She has been throwing up uncontrollably off and on for 2 years. She went in on the 10th and they removed her gallbladder. She went home from that and was back in the hospital on the 14th or 15th. They kept her until last night, sent her home and she is headed back to the hospital this morning, still throwing up.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn You can access more information on the drug by going to www.zelnorm.com. i take it because i have diabetic gastroparesis, which is cause by damage to the autonomic nerves controlling the stomach and intestines. i have found it very helpful in restoring normal movement in the whole gastric system. i hope you also find it to be helpful. i haven't noticed any side effects though if you occasionally get diareah (sp?) it can make that worse.
Avatar n tn com 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.
Avatar n tn With a diabetic and gastric problems you have to think about gastroparesis but could be a lot of different things. http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/gastroparesis/ Three months of nausea after eating is easily 87 days too many. Hope you feel better very soon.
Avatar n tn I have learned that there can be many different symptoms in relation to this complication. In regards to people with diabetes, gastroparesis is related to diabetic autonomic neuropathy. While my son has never had the problem you have with low blood pressure your comment sent me back to review my research. I came across a website from the Mayo Clinic that speaks to the issue of low blood pressure and autonomic neuropathy. The website is http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?id=HO00169.
Avatar f tn m confused how they diagnosed him with gastroparesis if his gastric emptying test came back within normal ranges. If his gastric emptying test came back within normal ranges then he does not have gastroparesis.
Avatar f tn I see an endocrinologist for Graves Disease with hyperthyroidism and he sees a lot of diabetic patients with gastroparesis. He says that Reglan has a lot of side effects and has held off on the script. My gastroenterologist says reglan is the only drug for gastroparesis and gave me a script for it. I have been reluctant to take them though. I have not felt well for a very long time also.
Avatar m tn Did they call it diabetic gastroparesis? I suspect that's what his diagnosis is, and it's not something you should forget because without it, people are starting over if you want help. Diabetes can damage a digestive nerve and cause gastroparesis. I don't think there is anything that can help the nerve once it's damaged, but controlling blood sugar is important. You could see if probiotics or digestive enzymes help, but it may not.
Avatar n tn I also might have diabetic gastroparesis as well. I am just sick of being sick and sleeping all day and all night. Thanks for your interest. This is helpful.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed 2 years ago w/gastroparesis. I too was diagnosed as a diabetic when I was 6 years old. Im now 26. The road traveled down w/gastroparesis has not been an easy one. None of the meds have worked for me and I feel pretty ill most days. Not many people understand gastroparesis except for those going thru it also. I am now on social security disability because of it....I am just to ill with it.
Avatar f tn My husband is 25 years old and a type 2 diabetic. He vomits up almost everything he eats everyday for the past six months. He experiences no nausea and has not lost any weight. We’ve done gastric emptying which showed no gastroparesis and he had a endoscopy that did not find anything. Does anybody have a clue what could be going on?
