I tried Domperidone in 2013 …. I had other stomach problems at the time, but they wanted me to try it and see if it helped anything, I had some side effects … I am getting old now and cannot remember what they were.
I got my prescription filled at a compounding pharmacy in my small town of Albany GA. I only got enough for two weeks. If it had helped … which it might have if I had not had other problems. .. I would have had to order it online to afford it. Insurance would not pay for it.
It does work great for many. I took Propulsid for a few months before they took it off the market. It worked well me.

Have been on Domperidone (in Canada) for approximately one month now with no positive results yet. My doctor has asked for an ECG, as this medication could have side effects.
I take lansoprazole every morning with a glass of warm water. I can usually manage the gastroparesis by diet. Very small meals and snacks. In a flair I get back to what the gastroenterologist said. Cooked fruits and vegetables cut in half inch pieces and lean meat. No fats. Good luck 🍀 and hang in there! 💜🦋🤗

2 ReactionsWhen I had Gall stones 10 years ago the Gall bladder was removed.. then when I had a bad prolonged GERD the local GI thought I needed a Nissen.. that was badly botched and Mayo GI said I had Post operative gastropanesis.. that was 2015.. since every meal is a challenge. Nerves used to empty the stomach were damaged.. But at 87 I am doing pretty well.. it's a fight to keep weight on..
