Test to diagnosis Gastroparesis
Digestive Health | Last Active: Aug 16 1:19pm | Replies (27)Comment receiving replies
I'm getting tested for gastroparesis, I had a test in 2018 but was never told I was borderline on my stomach not emptying. I've had stomach problems a long time , GERD, reflux, bloating, can't eat much and my constant cough. Some digestive problems can cause chronic cough. So it's the "rule out this game" now. Next stop my pulmonologist.
Have a great day and any information is welcomed

I have gastroparesis for the last 10 year's complicated with malabsorption and chronic nausea. I am on a feeding tube into my small intestine and pump fed and flushed for 18 hours a day. It is not a kind disease. Some people can have it not as bad and still eat 5 small meals a day. I honestly hope you don't have it because it never goes away and seems to get worse as the years go by. I hope they can find a curable problem that you are having. Love and prayers ❤️ 🙏 ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

My test for gastro paresis came back negative. I am glad for that
What is the test used to diagnose this? I've had two endoscopies and each time I was told that I have delayed gastric emptying. Both were done for other purposes like acid based gastritis (negative). I guess I assumed they diagnosed that because after following the fasting instructions, I still had a certain degree food in my stomach. I have so many possible/probable GI issues, I couldn't even say for sure what symptoms I have from it outside of getting full early in a meal. I hope they can discover what is causing your symptoms earlier than later.
The cough could be laryngopharyngeal reflux, LRP, which developed because of other issues. See if this information can provide you relief for part of your problems: https://jamiekoufman.com. So sorry you are going through all this.
Diagnosed after ten years on tramadol. Given reglan which helps but is not a long term med. Calmed my symptoms down. I take intermittently when I have flares. Also on a low fiber diet.

Good luck with your tests. I’ve wondered if I had this condition, but I don’t have enough symptoms, so I don’t think I do. I had a friend who had it and she had a surgical procedure for it. She later told me it was successful and she didn’t suffer anymore. I hope you can get answers to your questions and find relief.
