It really helps with the inflammation in your stomach. No dairy because it will make your stomach produce more acid. Yogurt, to get the good bacteria back in balance and the bad bacteria gone.. Carrot juice is also good and can be bought at almost any grocery store. Please think about giving all of these a try. I was taking Prilosec and it was doing nothing so my daughter recommeded these things to me and my stomach has been so much better.

You realize your stomach has liquid in it and when you move it sloshes around. If you put liquid in a bottle and shake and hear the liquid moving around your not gonna scream WHY THE **** DO I HEAR SLOSHING!!!!

m sick and no one believes me cause my symptoms are sweating, weakness, bad taste in mouth and stomach irritation and newly diagnoses guttate psoriasis. I never feel good anymore but my blood tests are fine. My body is attacking itself. I feel better and then whammo - start feeling really bad again. Think it might be something with my immune system cause of the psoriasis but I'm starting to think it must be my stomach. Had bariatric surgery 12 yrs ago.

It sounds a lot like gastroparesis to me, which is slow emptying of the stomach. A gastric emptying scan tests for this.

It could be gastroparesis which is slow emptying of the stomach. I would recommend you ask your doctor for a gastric emptying scan.

They also did upper scope and gastric emptying study and found that I have a lazy/slow digesting stomach. This is the cause for the bloating. Whether or not I eat. I also look like i am pregnant. My husband calls me a chia pet because it will just start growing at times. Doc put me on domperidone, experimental drug for the stomach. Supposed to "jump start" digestion. Have been on it a week and no change at all.

From my research, I found that smoking may increase gastric emptying for liquids but it slows down gastric emptying for solids.

You might have gastroparesis (slow emptying of the stomach) in addition to IBS. If this continues I would recommend asking for a gastric emptying scan to test for this.

I would recommend seeing a gastroenterologist about this. It might be gastroparesis which is slow emptying of the stomach. This is tested for with a gastric emptying scan.

Slow emptying of the stomach is called gastroparesis (stomach weakness). It is actually very common and my neuro said it was due to unmyelinated nerve fibers and would not be due to MS. My gastro said it is incredibly common. It occurs easily in people with small fiber neuropathy such as diabetics, but in otherwise normal people, too. It can come and go. I have it from time to time, but when I had my gastric emptying time study it was normal.

I had 2 Tests Done Endoscopy/Colonoscopy All Normal The Worse Is When I Eat Something I Feels So Full My Stomach And My Stomach Looks Like/Feels Like a Bowling Ball It Gets To A Point That's It's Hard To Breathe, Sweating Gas Burping. I Take GasEx Nothing Works. I am Worry That I Got Fluid In My Abodminal Swollen Abdominal.. Its Hard To Swallow Sometimes! These Symptoms Come And Go????????

I started with my family doctor who has sinced turned me over to a gastroenterologist. Have had stomach emptying study, CT Scan and bloodwork ... all normal. The PA from the Gastro wants me to take antidepressants. I understand they can help when taken in small doses for IBS. My complaint is not IBS. My complaint is the constant pain, no appetite, fast to feel full, effort to swallow.

I would recommend asking your doctor for a gastric emptying scan to check for gastroparesis which is slow emptying of the stomach. Good luck.

My husband has been having severe stomach pain since June....we have ruled out Kidney stones, the Gallbladder, we have had the colonscopy completed with normal results -- Upper Scope - where they found he had a stomach infection (gave him 7 day prescription for antibotics ) (this was about a month ago) but he is still having alot of pain....not sure where to go from here.

Have you seen a gastroenterologist about this? Have you had a gastric emptying scan? Have you been tested for food allergies? How often do you take pain killers stronger than advil/tylenol?

I have been having {what my doctor refers to as stomach spasms} for almost 3 years. Mostly at night but sometimes during the day I have a distended area right in my solar plexis. It becomes tight and I have some major pain. A burning with sharp stabbing is how I describe it. It does not move. I was first put on Nexum, then over the past few years I have used one spasm drug after another. Some of them work for a time and then they just stop.

Vw, what type of surgery did he have when the stomach removal was performed? Different forms of the surgery to correct severe ulcerations can result in different forms of problems.

For a technetium-filled egg sandwich for example, a normal emptying is 78 minutes for half the material to leave the stomach, with a variation of 11 minutes either way.

I was diagnosed with both. I ate a cup of ice cream the other day and my stomach cramped for 2 hours, and I was also very bloated. I have the same symptoms when I eat raw, leafy vegetables and some fruits. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/235051'>Gastritis and Bloating?</a>.

I have had numerous tests and the only issue was a slow emptying stomach which does not explain the excessive hunger. I will eat something (enough for a meal) and still be hungry or hungry within an hour.

The study came back with rapid gastric emptying. My food was leaving my stomach before I was even finished eating. The doctors did not find a cause for this and didn't seem too concerned about it since I do not have any ulcers but I have also been taking prilosec for acid reflux for years. I cannot eat a lot of hamburg or greasy foods without getting sulfur burps and stomach pain. Should I be concerned or just accept this as part of my life and move on?

Are you having a difficult time eating? Do you feel full quickly? Gastroparesis is delayed stomach emptying and can be diagnosed after a 2-hour test in which you eat an egg with a nuclear tracer in it. I found out that my food stays in my stomach twice as long as it should and that was the reason for my symptoms. I had severe stomach burning as well. I would ask your doctor to refer you to a gastro doc if it doesn't get better in a few days.

I have had blood work, abdominal x-rays, an ultrasound, a barium swallow x-ray, an EGD and a gastric emptying scan. All have been normal. Before the emptying scan my doctor told me he was certain I had gastroparesis. After the normal scan he called and said I must be feeling better. I told him I wasn't and now he wants to order more tests. I really believe I have gastroparesis. Could the scan have been wrong? Could I have it and still have normal results? I am exhausted and frustrated.

What does the stomach emptying scan test for? Does a slow stomach emptying process cause nausea?

I have gastroparesis - paralyzed stomach - and it is difficult to digest fiber foods. I cannot eat fresh fruits and vegetables - especially salads - so how can I diet and lose weight?

My husband has been diagnosed with Gastroporesis but the doctors cannot seem to get it under control. He is constantly feeling sick to his stomach with terrible pain in the center of his abdomin. My question, is there something else that could be the cause of his symptoms? Is there some other explanation for his illness? Any advice would be helpful.
