Gastroparesis | What is it?

[@pamelanovelli1239]

I have it, not a happy camper:( I just had a terrible flare went to er three times in ten days thank God the Er doc entertained me one last time saving me he gave me valium! I sweat going to bed with two winter coats on lol TWO hit the e blanket keeping it super low then wake up all wet n freezing upper arms like blocks of ice! Of course I am not mentioning all the other fun stuff no eating throwing up for days, usually for like 4-5 days then over with recovery time, LIFE:) I usually pride myself and making it through 95 Gastro flares without running to er! The more I learn who do I feel the worst for me and the others worse then me or you Doctors:) GP is no picnic n won't be solved in my lifetime! Reglan I hear 40 percent of the GP population can not tolerate Reglan I am one of them! They really have no good resolve ;( Thank God for them they tried :) Good luck to you Doc find the answer for us :)

My doctor is evaluating me to see if this is my problem. I have nausea, and vomiting, I get extremely full after eating about 3 bites of food or even drinking liquids, and bloated. I've also lost some weight. As far as I know, I don't have diabetes. The only surgery I had is a DaVinci hysterectomy last year. All I know is that I feel horrible. I'm hoping the cause is found soon. If it is gastroparesis, at least half the battle is won.

[@NurseMasterCharlieRN]

Well good luck to you, and yes finding the answer is important to know, cause then you can know what to do and don’t!

[@aliafraz8402]

Whta dp u mean finding the cause? Does it can be cured and your Nerves will work again

[@vbrandon1858]

Regĺan, casused hallucinating, hearing music and muscle spasms. Got off immediately as my doctor said to if i have any reactions to medication.

[@NurseMasterCharlieRN]

Sorry to hear that...did they give you any alternative approaches?

[@vbrandon1858]

@NurseMasterCharlieRN not yet waiting on biopsy results.hopefully Tuesday I will find out.

[@97AshleyRose]

Can amoxicillin/ clav 800-125 milligrams cause this? I took this a few months ago and a few rounds for a uti and now I have this I’m so bloated right now also not peeing very much so I’m not sure if I damaged my vagus nerve or kidneys I had blood work done everything was fine 🤷‍♀️ but I’m not throwing up though

[@NurseMasterCharlieRN]

That sound like a side effect of the medication. Talk with your pharmacist and or your doctor.

[@97AshleyRose]

@@NurseMasterCharlieRN I did bring it up to the physician and they did say to come back if still in pain I guess I should make another appointment I last saw them in July

[@bennym1326]

Im starting to think dysbiosis can slow gastric emptying. I was put on PPIs for about 7 weeks and now I suddenly have GP

[@NurseMasterCharlieRN]

@@bennym1326 That's interesting.

[@triathletenewyork94]

I was diagnosed with gastroparesis 5 yrs ago still struggle, my weight has been a struggle when I am empty I weigh 99 with not empty I am 3-5 pounds more .please help 😢😢

[@NurseMasterCharlieRN]

My suggestion is that maybe your Gastro doctor can refer you to a dietician to help with food choices. Wishing you the best of health.

[@lusanadarnell8774]

I lost my weight from 80 to 49 I don't have sugar and the gallbladder removed I feel heavy and fullness always in the intestines and food has been in the intestines for a year and I am still the same and no one understands me I suffer every day and no one wants to help me
