fibromyalgia and gastroparesis

How many fibromyalgia suffers also have a thyroid disorder, gastroparesis, and also had h-pylori as a child?

s Syndrome with fibromyalgia 7 months ago. Since that time I have been diagnised with chronic pancreatitis, gastroparesis and sarcoidosis. Is there a possibility that these diseases are related? She has attempted to treat the pancreatitis and the digestive issues but have yet to be treated in any way for the Sjogren's or the sarcoidosis. Is this proper protocol?

Recently I was given a gastric emptying test and diagnosed with gastroparesis and given a low fiber diet. Can you have IBS and gastroparesis? What diet would help both?

I am also 24 and a female and was just diagnosed with gastroparesis and am getting ready to start Reglan. I have never heard of abdominal migranes or epilepsy. This is very interesting because all my labs and tests came back normal but I have been throwing up for 8 months and had my gallbladder removed already. I have extreme pain in my upper right quadrant and extreme nausea and vomitting. I am not diabetic so the doctors don't really know why this is happening. Any ideas?

I also have a stomach ache that has lasted a week and seems to be aggravated when I move, and I, too, have been doing "The Biggest Loser" cardio max workout every other day and the 5 minute yoga stretch with poses at the end. I was wondering if I twisted something as well, so I was interested in any answers you got, but so far no one has answered if it is possible to twist something internally. Do you have any digestive issues?

gastroparesis and autoimmune proctits. They make it difficult to gain weight. Not complaining about that! ^_^) I then went to a specialist who diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. At first the diagnosis made sense, but I can't stop thinking that maybe it's wrong. I experienced the pain that ppl with fibro have when the Dr presses on the "trigger points" on the chest, back, and neck, but I don't have severe, devestating pain like most others seem to have.

I really really need advice, I have been told different things by the hospitalists, my gi, and my surgeon. I really can't tell you how much it will mean to get some input. I apologize in advance for the length, of I left anything out, and also if it's poorly written as I am missing sleep currently, among other things. Background: I have had chronic nausea for about 2 years or more, off and on in varying degrees.

You could still be recovering and your symptoms might improve with time. This could be gastroparesis. You can try a low-fiber low-fat diet with many small meals throughout the day to see if that helps.

From what I have read gastroparesis is related to auto-immune diseases. Have you had Free T3 and Free T4 and antibodies done for your thyroid? TSH on its own is not enough to diagnose a thyroid condition. The nodule may or may not be causing you any thyroid troubles.

lyme disease is being shown to mimic ALS MS PARKINSONS ADD FIBROMYALGIA AND OTHER DISEASES AND CONDITONS. Please check these site out and how to get properly tested for lyme disease, the testing that is available is often unreliable and give false/neg. good luck and health to you.

I agree with CalGal that this sounds like gastroparesis. The diet for gastroparesis is low-fiber low-fat. You should also eat small frequent meals throughout the day. If this isn't working (and you can't afford to see a doctor) you can try putting all your foods in a blender to see if that helps.

I have just had a major sinus infection which left me with sinusitis type pain all throughout my sinuses and down through my lungs (?). It is likely caused by my gastroparesis and I am going for additional testing tomorrow.

That's very interesting because I have recently been diagnosed with Bell's palsy and have been experiencing gastroparesis like symptoms - nausea, lack of appetite, feeling of fullness. The Bell's palsy is more of a nuisance, but the gastroparesis is horrible. There's been days where I could barely eat any food at all. I've recently learned that the stomach is linked to a cranial nerve, just like the facial nerve is, so was curious if there was a link between the conditions.

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.

They cause nausea and they slow down motility of the GI system. I too have bad gastroparesis and now I am 100% tube fed into my small intestine because of this.

I take Miralax and have Gastroparesis. I can't have a BM without the Miralax!!!! It has truly been a God sent to me! I have a spastic colon and, well needless to say the Miralax is the best tasting, no side effect product out there!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!! My daughter who is 12 (almost 13) takes it occasionally (only a half cap full) when she's stopped up. I've tried just about every other "helper" out there on the market and Miralax is by far the best!

Less blood could be flowing to your brain and/or it is overwhelmed by pain signals . Take omega 3 fish and flax oils and gingko biloba along with good b vitamins / multivitamins . Brain fog is common in chronic pain conditions . Also try to avoid wheat completely for few days and see it helps (wheat gluten allergy) , Take lots of rest , I am taking cymbalta and it has helped me with pain and brain function . Never loose hope , we are in this together , you will feel better soon .

I have Fibromyalgia and can only work three days a week with days in between and have to sleep 12 hours and two short naps during the days off. This year if I do too much during one day, my upper back spasms into a neck/shoulder pain spasm and causes migraine, and I am bedridden. The only thing that provides relief is a hot bath and codeine and 2 muscle relaxants and one gravol. It has only been that bad for one year.

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.

I have gastroparesis, recently diagnosed, and I am furiously researching the right diet I should be on because I know carbs make me sick so I am currently on a low fat/low carb type of diet but I stumbled upon a Celiac website and I could NOT believe the nunber of people who have BOTH celiac and gastroparesis or gluten sensitivty and gastroparesis. I think this is very interesting.

I have been diagnosed with Gastroparesis and am wondering if a high glucose level in the blood will raise your heart rate. There have been times after eating a meal whereby my glucose level went up. My heart rate went up too, then came down on its own. Actually, will having food remaining in your stomach for a long period of time make this happen?

I have gastroparesis, and GERD, and am on methadone maintenance. I noticed I started having problems as soon as I started the Methadone Clinic, 3 yrs ago. I recently had an endoscopy and waiting on the biopsy results. I'm so sick of not being able to eat anything. I'm living off of oatmeal and can't over eat. But it's not over eating because I've been starving. I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch.

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 was put on a gastroparesis diet and I got sicker. I ended up on a Celiac diet (gluten free) and I got better. I was on the diet for about 6 months. I just went last week to get tested again for gastroparesis and it came back 25% out of 35%. I am currently not having any problems with sickness but have gastroparesis. I first got sick due to contaminated well water and seem to get sick every time I get pregnant, weird.
