Avatar f tn The nurse was going to ask the dr to give me a pancreas cancer/pancreatitis blood test as I’m a type 1 diabetic but I’ve received a text saying I’m going to get a phone call on 7/7 and was just wondering if he isn’t going to give me it or if he probably wants to talk first about symptoms?
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 endoscopy, MRI, CT Scan, Blood test, gastric emptying, Meckles Test, 24 hour Urine test, MRCP Test, and CT Enteroclysis. They also took his gall bladder with the "hope" that was the problem, it wasn't. All test mentioned above came back within normal ranges.
Avatar n tn i have diabetic gastroparesis for 4 years now without good treatment, am extremely nauseous whether i eat or not, have lost a lot of weight and i have malnutrition due to not eating well. sometimes i go for a month without ever eating. what medications or lifestyle changes should i make that could really help because am at home cant have a normal life? please help me.
Avatar f tn It's called diabetic diarrhea and it is caused by neuropathy. Gastroparesis is another symptom of diabetic neuropathy.
Avatar n tn Ok, I have none of the symptoms (fullness upon eating, nausea, etc.) but my doctor wants me to have a test done via x-ray to monitor movement of food through the stomach. Doctor thinks that high nightime glucose levels are due to food being digested after humalog has worn off. I don't have crazy numbers very often, but always seems to happen when I log for doctor (sound familiar?) or during PMS week. But, hopefully to rule this condition out, I'm having the test next week.
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 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 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 I have a 9yr old type 1 diabetic. She has bad acid reflux with gastroparesis symptoms too. she has an endo Dr and Gastro Dr. Has been tested for celiac in blood. upper gi colonoscopy all "normal". She is still misrable and so am I what can I do?
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 m tn Does anyone know of any neurological disorders other than Wilsons Disease (that's been ruled out) that can cause elevated liver enzymes? I'm not diabetic and I don't have hepatitis either. Symptoms: Lightheadedness, Muscle Ridgidity, Gastroparesis Thanks a lot.
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 n tn 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.
1466277 tn?1286312305 Gastroparesis is not deadly. I actually have gastroparesis so I can answer almost all questions about it. It basically means the stomach empties really slowly. This can cause nausea (appetite loss), vomiting, quickly getting full after eating, not digesting food properly, and weight loss. There are many different medications for this.
Avatar f tn My first thought is diabetic gastroparesis. Google that phrase along with the word SYMPTOMS, and see if you think it could be a match. It is a nerve problem. Supposedly there are not many treatments for it, so keeping your diabetes under control is most important. I would talk to others with diabetes; some of them are dealing with this also. I would think the enzymes are fine. I take many supplements to aid my digestion, although I don't think mine is gastroparesis.
Avatar f tn After having a colonoscopy, endoscopy, capsule study, and stomach emptying study I have been diagnosed with Gastroparesis. I have been given medication that does not work, lost weight (no complaint there), constantly feel full, and have pain. I have been told there is no cure for this and this diagnosis is usually found in people with diabetes which Im not a diabetic. I have been to see two doctors in this field and Im looking now for a third opinion. I just want to feel better. ANy advise?????
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've been a type 1 diabetic for 22 years (24 years old now, diagnosed at 22 months and have always maintained good blood sugar control (A1C from 7 - 8). Recently I have experienced frequent heartburn, and near constant burping. I know these are symptoms of gastroparesis, which is a common complication. I am just wondering if anyone has any experience with this and if they have had success in treating it? Next, I also am having issues with ym breathing.
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 But I have to do another gastric emptying test to see how bad the gastroparesis is, and if it is bad enough, then I can have a pace maker put in that sends impulses to the stomach making it easier to digest food. So many options and so much to think about. Thanks for the help!!!!
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?
